Nit: strictly speaking we're not returning the flag value but its mask
applied to the flags field. I don't think anyone will care about getting
the actual flag value, but it should be made obvious in the doc:

Or I clarify the code to actually do what the comments says. Maybe that is what John G was also pointing out too?


No, I was just saying that the kernel topology can be broken without this series.


Mmm I didn't find any reply from John regarding this in v1, but I wouldn't
mind either way, as long as the doc & code are aligned.


BTW, to me, function acpi_pptt_cpu_is_thread() seems to try to do too much, i.e. check if the PPTT is new enough to support the thread flag and also check if it is set for a specific cpu. I'd consider separate functions here.

thanks,
John
