[PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: Don't create empty /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq directory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When we don't have any file in cpu/cpufreq directory we shouldn't create it.
Specially with the introduction of per-policy governor instance patchset, even
governors are moved to cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/governor-name directory and so this
directory is just not required.

Lets have it only when required.
