(Re-send from my Linaro email address this time)
Requesting to add the commits in the attached patch to the October Linaro release. These commits add a common imx cpuidle driver, some common cpuidle mach-mx5 code, and the init call for i.MX51 SoCs.
git://git.linaro.org/people/rob_lee/imx_cpuidle.git imx_mx5_mx51
A patch series containing this functionality was also submitted to lkml: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/115012/
Besides some minor requested changes, this submission was not accepted as there is some common functionality being duplicated by many of the ARM SoC cpuidle implementations and Russell King wants there to be common ARM cpuidle code to handle this. The commits contained in this pull request address the other minor issues discussed in the community submission. I am working on a common ARM implementation will occur but it will take longer. In the mean time, i.MX platform coul use this imx cpuidle implementation in Linaro kernels.
OK, merged.
