That CPU POKE comment will not stand the test of time, please remove it.

+ /* Use cpu poke to resume idle cpu if supported*/
Please put a space at the end of the comment and before the "*/"

+ /*cpu poke is registered. */
Please put a space at the beginning of the comment.

And you should decide which way you want to consistently write.
Either capitalize the first word and finish the sentence with
a '.', or don't. Do it the same way each time.

Thanks.
Sure, I will fix these in v2.

Thanks,
