Well it is already set to the 71th column.

Yeah, that is part of the plan. As mentioned before I want to kill those 
variable/macro and define a cpuidle ops structure to be filled from pm.c.

But I would like to have this structure to be shared across the 
different cpuidle drivers and defined in the common arm code. The 
structure definition will depend on the different existing drivers, so I 
would like to do it in a separate patchset and keep the exynos_aftr() 
callback for the moment.

Does your comment 'those global variables' includes 
'exynos_idle_barrier' and 'cpu1_wakeup' ?

Agree, I can find something more meaningful.

Ok, what error ? -EAGAIN ?

Ok, this is resulting from reverse engineering. I don't have the 
documentation. If you can briefly summarize how it works that may help 
to simplify/clarify the result.

Same comment than above. I guess this barrier is needed to ensure the 
value is effectively written to BOOT_VECTOR before shutting down the core.

Yeah, definitively that needs clarification.

Yep,

Yes, there is a nice improvement in term of power saving for dual 
processor. If you can clarify the BOOT_VECTOR stuff that will be nice.

I have a more recent version of the driver based on samsung-next and the 
cleanups I previously sent:

https://git.linaro.org/people/daniel.lezcano/linux.git/

branch : cpuidle/samsung-next

Thanks for the review.
