Yes sure, feel free to copy my:
NACKed-by: Lorenzo Pieralisi <lorenzo.pieralisi at arm.com>
to all the resulting patches then. On ARM64 if he wants to implement
suspend-to-RAM his PSCI firmware will have to implement PSCI system
suspend method, end of this discussion.
By the way, why are you advising people on this subject ?
What do you know about the PSCI firmware interface to state what
you are saying above ?
