I would like to clarify the above issue. When I've discussed with Viresh previous version of this patch, we have agreed, that "boost" sysfs attribute [*]: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost would be only visible when boost_supported flag is set at cpufreq driver. When acpi-cpufreq driver doesn't support boost, the attribute [*] won't be exported at all. This contradicts the documentation and legacy acpi-cpufreq behaviour. Since I'm affraid to break API (with all its consequences :-) ), I would like to be sure that this is OK, and thereof I'm allowed to rewrite documentation accordingly. I simply need explicit permission from both maintainers :-). -- Best regards, Lukasz Majewski Samsung R&D Institute Poland (SRPOL) | Linux Platform Group -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cpufreq" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
