Can't you just query it from >tpacpi_dprc_init() once and store the updated value in >wlan_tx_strength_reduce_store() on success? We will have to call this sys for WLAN power reduce or full from userspace based on some conditions. After setting we need to make sure if wlan is set correctly in BIOS . I can understand that if setting is success, then we can store updated value on success. However , since, we have command to get wlan tx state in "DPRC" method , so I just want to make sure If wlan tx state is set correctly in BIOS as I don’t have any other way to confirm it. So, I think it's better to keep this setting here. > > >> + >> + return sysfs_emit(buf, "%d\n", wlan_txreduce); } >> + >> +static ssize_t wlan_tx_strength_reduce_store(struct device *dev, >> + struct device_attribute *attr, >> + const char *buf, size_t count) >> +{ >> + int output, err, ret; > >Please use just err here, there is no need to have both err and ret.

Ack. I will recheck it and modify it in next version. I will incorporate all comments and send updated patch by next week or asap.
