Cover letter [RFC 0/5] restart cleanups
Quoted 18 lines · Russell King - ARM Linux

(Poodle doesn't have any MAINTAINERS entry, I think Richard Purdie last touched Poodle in a 'maintainery' way back in 2006.)

poodle does this:

static void poodle_restart(char mode, const char *cmd)

{
        arm_machine_restart('h', cmd);
}

Given that the default value of 'mode' (in the absense of any reboot= command line argument to the kernel) is 'h', this seems to be a no-op. Below is the history; I suspect that the reason this first appeared was because of the need to fiddle with RCSR - that's now gone so I suspect the entire restart handler can be deleted.

What I don't understand in that case is why 'mode' wasn't simply passed through in the first patch.
