While I guess this code makes no harm, it does not do what is expected
(i.e
draining the interrupt). I can't see any reason to keep wrong code, we
should really aim to have code that match the architecture. And better to
fix it when we discover the problem rather than waiting until we
rediscovered it later.

So at least a patch to update the code/comment should be done.


I don't feel comfortable removing these 3 lines because I have no way
to test and guarantee that the change will not introduce any issues.


The work you are doing (suspend/resume, hotplug) is not easy to test and
very subtle to get it right. Testing can only uncover obvious bug on your
platform. IMHO, we can only rely on the specifications (ARM ARM, PSCI...)
and extensive review of the series (and the code around).

However, if despite all you really want me to remove these lines
within this series I don't have a problem doing that in a separate
patch. Please just confirm the plan.


I am quite confident that this code should not be there or at least not in
its current form.


Do you want me to include the removal of that code in this series or not?

It is not necessary to be in that series.

Cheers,


Thanks,
Mirela
