Hi,
arm and arm64 topology.c share a lot of code related to parsing of capacity information. This set of patches proposes a solution (based on Will's, Catalin's and Mark's off-line suggestions) to move such common code in a single place: drivers/base/arch_topology.c (by creating such file and conditionally compiling it for arm and arm64 only).
First 5 patches are actually fixes for the current code.
Patch 6 is the actual refactoring.
Last patch removes one of the extern symbols by changing a bit the now common code. We still remain with some other externs, which are not nice. Moving them in some header file solves the issue, should I just create a new include/ linux/arch_topology.h file and move them there?
The set is based on top of linux/master (4.10-rc4 fb1d8e0e2c50) and it is also available from:
git://linux-arm.org/linux-jl.git upstream/default_caps_factorize
Best,
- Juri
