Is there a specific reason for that; is there some problem in the core ARM code that implies CPU0 should never be disabled? > But I had verified the CPU0 is OK to be un-plugged on the older > linux-next branch that tegra_cpu_disable() watn't removed yet. > > Do you want me to add them back to support this function for Tegra114? If there is a problem removing CPU0 in the core code, the functionality of this series is OK, although it's probably worth removing the parts that attempt to make CPU0 hot-unpluggable to reduce the diff size. If there's no problem removing CPU0, it'd be good to make it work, although that could be done in followon patches. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
