So they are all wrong? What I said before: "Again, third time (once from Bjorn, once from Dmitry), rephrase property name and description to describe the hardware issue. I see description improved, but not the property name. Again in the end of description you say what Linux should do. Bindings do not describe Linux OS." Best regards, Krzysztof
