I really don't see the point of most of the patches in this series.
To summarise, what you're doing is:
1. Renaming arch/arm/kernel/psci_smp.c to arch/arm/kernel/psci.c
2. Adding a #ifdef CONFIG_SMP around _all_ the code in psci.c
3. Adding cpuidle code with an #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_IDLE around all the
CPU idle code.
So, we end up with a file which contains:
/*
header
*/
#include statements
/*
some commentry relevant to SMP code
*/
#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_IDLE
... cpu idle code ...
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
... smp code ...
#endif
which (a) is a mess, and (b) is unnecessary. The only relevant bits which
are shared are the #include statements.
Please try this alternative approach:
1. Leave psci_smp.c alone.
2. Add arch/arm/kernel/psci_cpuidle.c containing the #include statements
you need, and the CPU idle code.
I think such an approach will reduce your patch series to two patches,
one moving the ARM64 code, and one adding the cpuidle code.
