ARM64 cpu_ops is slightly different from cpuidle_ops as the cpu boot / hotplug operations are placed in a different place and that explains why on ARM64 we can have an successful 'get_ops' because we use the partially filled structure. On ARM, it is cpuidle_ops only, so we can gracefully fail if the ops are not defined. IMO, it still make sense to keep the checks in arm_cpuidle_read_ops for ARM. -- Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
