Thanks Shuah for the guidance. Do they summarize your point properly? 1. Testing a new feature on simulated / virtualized environment alone is not sufficient. 2. Pre-enablement of a new feature is not allowed. 3. Contributing code that supports a new feature shall wait until there are multiple firmware implementations available for the testing. I like clear guidance, but this may be challenging for emerging features. -Toshi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
