why is fake_ecdt no longer necessary -- because ec initializes first now?
right
while I'm glad to see the ec_burst_enable exported -- it is currently
not called and we continue to always operate in normal mode, yes?
yes
it seems that burst mode is intended for when we want to push
a series of commands to the ec, so we'd
1. enable burst mode
2. do a bunch of ec transactions
2. disable burst mode
right?
right
Anybody got any candidates for a series of transactions that would
benefit from this mode? If yes, is it possible to detect an efficiency
benefit from enabling burst mode for that series?
the one obvious candidate is smart battery, it reads all of its data as
separate read/writes through EC.
yes, i like "boot_ec" better than "ec_ecdt".
glad to hear that :)
as usual, they patch series is "light" on check-in comments --
in particular, there are none at all explaining why these
changes are necessary.
make code cleaner...
thanks,

ps. mbox applies better if "From" is not replaced by ">From"
