Cover letter [PATCH 0/6] ARM: OMAP: hwmod: remove runtime cpu_is checking
Quoted 13 lines · Santosh Shilimkar

This series attempts to remove all the runtime cpu_is* checking in omap_hwmod.c in favor of using function pointers initialized at init time.

This series was motivated by the addition of support for the AM335x series which was done by adding several more cpu_is* checks, and provided the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.

In addition to the cleanup, this provides a much cleaner way of adding additional SoC support since it no longer requires adding additional runtime cpu_is* checks.

Boot tested on OMAP3530/Overo and OMAP4430/Panda.

I was looking at some of these while trying to OMAP5 support. Indeed the cpu_is_* is becoming increasingly no maintanable and ugly. Thanks for the series.

Also we need to start considering what happens if non-omap code calls cpu_is_omapxxx for common zImage kernels.. So it's best to make sure they only happen in omap specific calls during init time.

Regards,

Tony
