Wow - quite a cc-list :) On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 7:47 PM, Zach Pfeffer <zach.pfef...@linaro.org> wrote: > Amit/Mounir, > > What's your guys plan with cpu_idle for each board?

I'll add four more. The people I've added to cc are the ones looking at upstreaming cpuidle for the various member platforms (the first 3 are Linaro assignees): Samsung - Amit Kachhap ST-E - Daniel Lezcano Freescale - Rob Lee TI - Kevin Hilman and Santosh Shilimkar Rob tried to upstream a driver for the imx5 platform. Russell suggested that it is time to have a common cpuidle stub driver for ARM[1]. Daniel Lezcano and Rob are currently working on such a common stub driver. The imx5 cpuidle will get rebased on top of that. Daniel has actively started work on a u8500 cpuidle driver in the meanwhile but is awaiting documentation. For OMAP4, I was told that there was now a cpuidle driver on its way into mainline. But I didn't find one after a cursory glance at the lists. Perhaps Kevin/Santosh can shed some light there. The last known tree I was aware of for an OMAP4 cpuidle driver was TI maintained one[2]. For exynos, there is a basic cpuidle driver in mainline. Amit Kachhap has been working on enhancing it[3] (adding more states and using more of the common code that was recently added). In summary, we should have cpuidle working on the member platforms in the coming month. If you want something today, you should look at enabling OMAP4 and Exynos cpuidle configs. Regards, Amit p.s Andy, was the breakage you reported in cpuidle related to the missing export.h patch?
