Subject: [PATCH v3 08/10] dt-bindings: arm: Add HPE GXP CPU Init

From: Nick Hawkins <[email protected]>

This adds support for the hpe,gxp-cpu-init binding.
With the HPE GXP initialization it is necessary to have access to this
register for it to boot.

Please explain what's this. The bindings describe the hardware and I
cannot get what is this here about. Is it a CPU enable method (like in
cpus.yaml)? Is it some power management block?


Best regards,

This was intended to be a binding that would provide the necessary register to boot the asic. I have now moved this functionality into our bootloader. Thus this binding is no longer needed and will be removed from subsequent versions of this patch series.

Thanks,
