I'm a bit confused by the description here.

I gather from the code that this means that CPU0 and CPU1 can hit CSWR
independently, correct?

Even on secure devices?

The voting scheme and associated locking should be better described
here, or commented in the code itself.

I think the CPUidle core handles the broadcast notification now.

How about using an atomic_t and atomic_inc()/atomic_dec() instead, which
will avoid the need for a spinlock.

Even with that, it still seems potentially racy.  Do you need a memory
barrier here to be sure that any changes from another CPU are visible
here, and vice versa?
