I would prefer to remove it right now. Removing NAP from c-state table makes the hikey960 working correctly; I mean even with current ATF and current state id. So it's the best solution to the NAP problem IMO and I don't see the benefit of keeping NAP in the table until this state has been fixed. This will just add uncertainties in the behavior of the board. I don't see why you can't re-add it once it has been fixed. > >> Then, I have another question regarding the update of the >> psci-suspend-parameter.
