Hi, I've recently changed l-m-c to take an hwpack, which is installed before the image is built. To keep that change simple I had to unpack the binary tarball into a tmp directory, install the hwpack, repack the tarball and then continue with the image generation. This extra unpacking/repacking

[PATCH 2/2] OMAP3 PM: sleep code clean up

2010-09-23 Thread vishwanath . sripathy
From: Vishwanath BS This patch has done some clean up of omap3 sleep code. Basically all possible hardcodings are removed. Reorganized code into more logical buckets for better readability. Tested on ZOOM3. Signed-off-by: Vishwanath BS --- arch/arm/mach-omap2/sleep34xx.S | 375

[PATCH 1/2] OMAP3 PM: move omap3 sleep to ddr

2010-09-23 Thread vishwanath . sripathy
From: Vishwanath BS There is no need to keep omap3 sleep code in SRAM. This code can be run very well on DDR. This would help us to instrument CPUIdle latencies. Tested on ZOOM3. Signed-off-by: Vishwanath BS --- arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm34xx.c |9 + 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+),
