[PATCH] ACPI: update ACPI proc I/F removal schedule

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

 



ACPI sysfs conversion is not finished yet and
some user space tools still depend on the ACPI proc I/F.

We plan to finish all the sysfs conversion by January 2008
and remove the ACPI proc I/F in July 2008.
