[U-Boot] [PATCH 00/10] sunxi: PSCI implementation rewrite in C

[Hongbo Zhang <macro.wave.z@gmail.com>]

Yes, C code is better and even necessary for some cases.
Drawback of assemble language is that it is difficult not only for
developers but also for the reviewers and maintainers.
I am implementing our NXP/Freescale LS1 platform's system-suspend
function, it is written in C too, is is impossible without C for my
case.
