Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 8/9] arm64: topology: Enable ACPI/PPTT based CPU
 topology.

Nit: remove the period in $SUBJECT and capitalize with a coherent
policy for the patches touching the same code.

Nit: a bool would be preferable.

Add a space.

It is probably my fault so apologies if that's the case. The

find_acpi_cpu_topology()

API is a bit strange since it behaves differently according to the
level passed in.

I think it is better to define two calls (it might well have been like
that in one of the previous series versions):

- find_acpi_cpu_package_level() (returns: package level if success, <0 on
  failure)
- acpi_cpu_topology_id()

It would even be better to lump the two calls together but you do not
know how many topology levels are there so it becomes a bit complicated
to handle.

static inline ?

I think you can remove this comment.

I do not think these two declarations:

a) belong in this patch
b) belong in include/linux/topology.h (should be acpi.h)
