Isn't it possible to just say

		: "=r" (reg));

here?  (That is only a single : to make reg an output register and add
the = flag.)

No.  When we start to have multi-soc support for imx and a kernel for
both mx35 and mxc91231 is compiled mxc91231_prepare_idle isn't called
anymore for mxc91231.  Ah, and cpu_do_idle isn't called anymore at all.

This needs to read:

	#if defined (CONFIG_ARCH_MX31) || defined (CONFIG_ARCH_MX35)
		if (cpu_is_mx31() || cpu_is_mx35()) {
			unsigned long reg = 0;
			__asm__ __volatile__(...);
		} else
	#endif
		{
		
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_MXC91231
			if (cpu_is_mxc91231()) {
				/* Need this to set DSM low-power mode */
				mxc91231_prepare_idle();
			}
#endif
			cpu_do_idle();
		}

Looks ugly.  If you come up with nice code (that still does the correct
thing) you get five extra points.  (Maybe add another function for the
last block.  I couldn't come up with a nice name though.)

Best regards
Uwe
