Looks good to me:
Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...aro.org>

What I want to know is if this commit will avoid the problem mentioned
in review of commit 3? I.e. the generic stackwalk code will make sure we are
not running the task on another CPU, so that is why we could remove
that check?

Yours,
