OK. Will do.

For Tegra20 & Tegra30, it's always physical CPU 0 here. And the CPU0 was
always the first boot CPU. I will change to

cpu = cpu_logical_map(dev->cpu);

Thanks for your remind.

Will use cpu_logical_map to get the physical CPU first, thanks.

Thanks for introducing the new LoUIS cache API. Did LoUIS been changed
by other HW? I checked the new LoUIS API. If LoUIS == 0, it means inner
shareable then it do nothing just return. But I need to flush L1 data
cache here to sync the coherency before CPU be power gated. And disable
data cache before flush is needed.

I can tell you the sequence that why we just do L1 data cache flush
here. Maybe I need to change the comment to "flush to point of
coherency" not "level of coherency".

For secondary CPUs:
* after cpu_suspend
* disable data cache and flush L1 data cache
* Turn off SMP coherency
* power gate CPU

For CPU0:
* outer_disable (flush and disable L2)
* cpu_suspend
* disable data cache and flush L1 data cache
* Turn off SMP coherency
* Turn off MMU
* shut off the CPU rail

So we only do flush to PoC.

And changing the sequence of secondary CPUs to belows maybe more
suitable?
* after cpu_suspend
* disable data cache and call to v7_flush_dcache_all
* Turn off SMP coherency
* power gate CPU

How do you think?

Thanks,
Joseph
