I tested the series and did observe the same splat with both DT and ACPI boot(they enter idle in different code paths). Thanks to Mark for reminding me about ACPI. With this fix, I see the splat is gone in both DT(cpuidle-psci.c) and ACPI(acpi_processor_idle.c). You can add: Tested-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx> -- Regards, Sudeep
