[PATCH v2 1/3] ARM: Make cpu_architecture into a global variable

Dave Martin dave.martin at linaro.org
Thu Aug 18 13:01:52 EDT 2011


The CPU architecture really should not be changing at runtime, so
make it a global variable instead of a function.

The cpu_architecture() function declared in <asm/system.h> remains
the correct way to read this variable from C code.
