Subject: RE: [PATCH V5 5/5] arm64: dts: imx8mm: Enable cpu-idle driver

Hi, Daniel

That is OK for sure.

Shawn should be OK for it, and he already took patch [PATCH V5 2/5] arm64: Enable TIMER_IMX_SYS_CTR for ARCH_MXC platforms
since I ever sent it before in other series when system counter driver is NOT landing on main line, now it landed, Shawn just apply
that old patch, so in V6 patch I just sent, I did NOT include this patch, you can just apply the 4 patches in V6.

Hi, Shawn
	Daniel will pick this whole patch series, please raise if you have any concern, thanks.

Thanks for your detail reference, it is a power down state with SoC entering WAIT mode,
so in V6, I change the name to "cpu_pd_wait:cpu-pd-wait".

Ah, yes, this is new to me, I will just remove the “wakeup-latency-us” property.

Thanks,
Anson.
