Thanks for sending out. You can add my ...
Tested-by: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter at ti.com>
I have tested this on omap3430 (beagle), omap4430 (blaze) and omap4460
(panda) with perf and my PMU series [1]. I have verified that the EMU
power domain is transitioning correctly on these platforms. For OMAP3430
I checked that CORE retention is still being achieved with this change.
Cheers
Jon
