Re: [PATCH 34.5/36] cpuidle,omap4: Push RCU-idle into omap4_enter_lowpower()

[Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>]

Hi,

Adding Aaro Koskinen and Peter Vasil for pm24xx for n800 and n810 related
idle.

Yes that should do for omap2_do_wfi().

As we are establishing a policy where deeper idle states must be
handled by cpuidle, and for most part that has been the case for at least
10 years, I'd just drop the unused functions with an explanation in the
patch why we're doing it. Or the functions could be tagged with
__maybe_unused if folks prefer that.

In the pm24xx case we are not really causing a regression for users as
there are still pending patches to make n800 and n810 truly usable with
the mainline kernel. At least the PMIC and LCD related patches need some
work [0]. The deeper idle states can be added back later using cpuidle
as needed so we have a clear path.

Aaro & Peter V, do you have any better suggestions here as this will
mostly affect you guys currently?

Regards,

Tony
