Hi Wang

I tested this patch on octeontx2 platform and have some queries
regarding the same:
Difference what I observed with this patch is, you are disabling
interrupts for all the queues handled by the core which woke up but
what is the advantage of doing so? 
I dont see any difference wrt octeontx2, with and without this patch in
term of power saving. Can you please explain what I am missing.

Thanks
Harman
