Signed-off-by: Frans Pop <elendil@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sujith Thomas <sujith.thomas@xxxxxxxxx> --- While working on some further patches I discovered that polling_delay does not actually determine the polling interval for a forced passive trip point. Instead a hardcoded interval of 1 second is used (passive_delay). I also saw that the thermal_sys driver is somewhat independent of ACPI, so the third patch in the series may not be appropriate. diff --git a/Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.txt b/Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.txt index 48e9c5c..f6b3743 100644 --- a/Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.txt +++ b/Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.txt @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ Generic Thermal Sysfs driver How To Written by Sujith Thomas <sujith.thomas@xxxxxxxxx>, Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@xxxxxxxxx> -Updated: 2 January 2008 +Updated: 21 August 2009 Copyright (c) 2008 Intel Corporation @@ -199,6 +199,15 @@ cdev[0-*]_trip_point point.
