The patches themselves are mostly fine. One issue though: They implement part of the v0.2 spec, but keep on using the range of function IDs that we made up for v0.1. I just had a chat with the person responsible for the spec, and realized that the Function IDs mentionned in the v0.2 spec are not optional, and not using them would be in direct violation of the spec (the new numbers now come directly from the SMC calling convention). So I rekon we need to create a separate range for those. Also, I'd like to progress the DT and kernel side of things as well (otherwise this is all a bit pointless). Rob: what are your plans regarding your PSCI v0.2 patches? Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny. _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/kvmarm
