2016-10-04	MIPS: pm-cps: Add MIPSr6 CPU support	Matt Redfearn
	This patch adds support for CPUs implementing the MIPSr6 ISA to the CPS power management code. Three changes are necessary: 1. In MIPSr6, coupled coherence is necessary when CPUS implement multiple Virtual Processors (VPs). 2. MIPSr6 virtual processors are more like real cores and cannot yield to other VPs on the same core, so drop the MT ASE yield instruction. 3. To halt a MIPSr6 VP, the CPC VP_STOP register is used rather than the MT ASE TCHalt CP0 register.

2014-05-28	MIPS: pm-cps: add PM state entry code for CPS systems	Paul Burton
	This patch adds code to generate entry & exit code for various low power states available on systems based around the MIPS Coherent Processing System architecture (ie. those with a Coherence Manager, Global Interrupt Controller & for >=CM2 a Cluster Power Controller). States supported are: - Non-coherent wait. This state first leaves the coherent domain and then executes a regular MIPS wait instruction. Power savings are found from the elimination of coherency interventions between the core and any other coherent requestors in the system. - Clock gated. This state leaves the coherent domain and then gates the clock input to the core. This removes all dynamic power from the core but leaves the core at the mercy of another to restart its clock. Register state is preserved, but the core can not service interrupts whilst its clock is gated. - Power gated. This deepest state removes all power input to the core. All register state is lost and the core will restart execution from its BEV when another core powers it back up. Because register state is lost this state requires cooperation with the CONFIG_MIPS_CPS SMP implementation in order for the core to exit the state successfully. The code will detect which states are available on the current system during boot & generate the entry/exit code for those states. This will be used by cpuidle & hotplug implementations.
