From 6c74dcb1e1b73b381950f8991fa7493bdefbf3c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 14:27:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: cpucaps: Remove stale comment about keeping capabilities sorted There is no functional requirement to keep the entries in arm64's tools/cpucaps file sorted alphabetically and, in fact, they have fallen out of order over time. Given that only the arm64 tree touches this file and the perceived benefit of sorting was to help with conflicts, just remove the stale comment and accept that we're collectively not very good at the alphabet. In the limited cases where a specific ordering is important, we enforce it through build-time assertions (e.g. in can_use_gic_priorities()).
