The goal of this patch is to remove as much duplicated code as possible in each platform hotplug file. I have also tried to keep in mind that current platform upstreamed code make nearly no power management in their current implementation. I have added a new interface and a new file in order to -K

Hi All, I got inputs from couple of folks for this testing. Based on this, I have the opinion that the issue exists even with x86 platforms as well but with lesser severity (worstcase 89%), most probably due to optimized governor parameters (esp cpufreq_transition_latency). Also I figured out that

This patch extracts the common code of the cpu hotplug feature across arm platforms. The goal is to only keep the specific stuff of the platform in the sub-architecture. I have created a hotplug.c file in the arm/common directory after studying the cpu hotplug code of omap2, realview, s5pv310, ux5
