[PATCH v2 3/3] RISC-V: hwprobe: not treat KEY_CPUPERF_0 as bitmask
Posted by Yangyu Chen 1 year, 8 months ago
Since the value in KEY_CPUPERF_0 is not bitmask, remove the wrong code
in hwprobe.h.

I'd expect a Fixes tag, and ideally some discussion on the reasoning
and ramifications of this change.

I posted the other possible fix, declaring a new key, at [1], mostly
so we could see the two options and discuss. I'm okay with either
patch.

Just to close the loop here as the discussions are on other threads: 
after a bunch of discussions we're going with the new key version.  
Maybe it's a bit pedantic, but since hwprobe is such a fundamental 
compatibility interface we're just going to be super careful.
