[PATCH v2 03/16] ARM: b.L: introduce the CPU/cluster power API

Nicolas Pitre nicolas.pitre at linaro.org
Thu Jan 24 01:27:46 EST 2013


This is the basic API used to handle the powering up/down of individual
CPUs in a big.LITTLE system.  The platform specific backend implementation
has the responsibility to also handle the cluster level power as well when
the first/last CPU in a cluster is brought up/down.
