In the case where the stop-api support is found to be lacking, the commit 785a12afdb4a ("powerpc/powernv/idle: Disable LOSE_FULL_CONTEXT states when stop-api fails") disables deep states that lose hypervisor context. Thus in this case, the offlined CPU will be put to some shallow idle state.
If a shallow state ( < stop4 ) is being chosen for cpu hotplug, then : 1) this opal call is not required. 2) may not be supported.
Hence should call opal_slw_set_reg() only if a deep state chosen for cpu hotplug. > > > > > Fixes: commit 24be85a23d1f ("powerpc/powernv: Clear PECE1 in LPCR via > > stop-api only on Hotplug") > > > > Reported-by: Pavithra Prakash <pavirampu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > > Signed-off-by: Gautham R.
