+# OpenRISC assembly to turn off an ARM core on an Allwinner SoC from
+# the arisc management controller.
+# Generate a binary representation with:
+# $ or1k-elf-as -c -o turn_off_core.o turn_off_core.S
+# $ or1k-elf-objcopy -O binary --reverse-bytes=4 turn_off_core.o \
+#   turn_off_core.bin
+# The encoded instructions go into an array defined in
+# plat/allwinner/sun50i_*/include/core_off_arisc.h, to be handed off to
+# the arisc processor.
+#
+# This routine is meant to be called directly from arisc reset (put the
+# start address in the reset vector), to be actually triggered by that
+# very ARM core to be turned off.
+# It expects the core number presented as a mask in the upper half of
+# r3, so to be patched in the lower 16 bits of the first instruction,
+# overwriting the 0 in this code here.
+# The code will do the following:
+# - Read the C_CPU_STATUS register, which contains the status of the WFI
+#   lines of each of the four A53 cores.
+# - Loop until the core in question reaches WFI.
+# - Using that mask, activate the core output clamps by setting the
+#   respective core bit in CPUX_PWROFF_GATING_REG (0x1f01500).
+#   Note that the clamp for core 0 covers more than just the core, activating
+#   it hangs the whole system. So we skip this step for core 0.
+# - Using the negated mask, assert the core's reset line by clearing the
+#   respective bit in C_RST_CTRL (0x1f01c30).
+# - Finally turn off the core's power switch by writing 0xff to the
+#   respective CPUx_PWR_SWITCH_REG (0x1f01540 ff.)
+# - Assert the arisc's own reset to end execution.
+#   This also signals other arisc users that the chip is free again.
+# So in C this would look like:
+#	while (!(readl(0x1700030) & (1U << core_nr)))
+#		;
+#	if (core_nr != 0)
+#		writel(readl(0x1f01500) | (1U << core_nr), 0x1f01500);
+#	writel(readl(0x1f01c30) & ~(1U << core_nr), 0x1f01c30);
+#	writel(0xff, 0x1f01540 + (core_nr * 4));
+# (using A64/H5 addresses)
