[PATCH v2 2/3] powerpc/85xx: add hardware automatically enter altivec idle state

Dongsheng Wang dongsheng.wang at freescale.com
Tue Aug 27 18:41:39 EST 2013


From: Wang Dongsheng <dongsheng.wang at freescale.com>

Each core's AltiVec unit may be placed into a power savings mode
by turning off power to the unit. Core hardware will automatically
power down the AltiVec unit after no AltiVec instructions have
executed in N cycles. The AltiVec power-control is triggered by hardware.

*v2:
Remove:
delete setup_idle_hw_governor function.
delete "Fix erratum" for rev1.

Move:
move setup_* into __setup/restore_cpu_e6500.
