Re: [PATCH] irqchip/bcm-6345-l1: fix SMP support

Hi Florian,
Yes, you’re right, there seems to be a bug, because cpu_number_map() and cpu_logical_map() are returning the same when BCM6358 starts with CMT 1:
[ 4.662896] bcm6345_l1_irq_handle: smp_id=0 cpu_logical=1 cpu_number=1
Let’s see if I can fix it…
Best regards,
Álvaro.
