From: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
[ Upstream commit 548ae94c1cc7fc120848757249b9a542b1080ffb ]
On Armada 38x SoCs, under heavy I/O load, the system hangs when CPU
Idle is enabled. Waiting for a solution to this issue, this patch
disables the CPU Idle support for this SoC.
As CPU Hot plug support also uses some of the CPU Idle functions it is
also affected by the same issue. This patch disables it also for the
Armada 38x SoCs.
