Ah, indeed.
However, I would like to drop this (PATCH[01/02]) in v4. The memory
hotplug through device-tree on ARM64 isn't existing. We might have
alternative ways to present the empty NUMA nodes when it's supported,
or we needn't it for ever because ACPI is enough to support the
memory hotplug.
Agreed. Please update the commit message of 2/2 for v4 and also add
a comment above the new code with the rationale for dropping those
memory nodes.
v4 was posted for review. Your r-b tag was dropped as the additional
comments are added. Please take a look on v4 and sorry for having
taken so much time from you :)
Thanks,
Gavin
