Thanks Deepthi. I think I already git bisect tested the patchset. This patch does not break the build, the variable is defined in the processor_driver.c file. > There would be a build break after applying this one as > acpi_idle_driver is still used in processor_idle.c by applying > just this patch. > > Cheers, > Deepthi > > >> Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@xxxxxxxxxx> >> --- >> drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c | 2 +- >> include/acpi/processor.h | 1 - >> 2 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c b/drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c >> index 7048b97..017b39d 100644 >> --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c >> +++ b/drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c >> @@ -113,7 +113,7 @@ static struct acpi_driver acpi_processor_driver = { >> >> DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct acpi_processor *, processors); >> EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(processors); >> - >> +extern struct cpuidle_driver acpi_idle_driver; >> struct acpi_processor_errata errata __read_mostly; >> >> /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> diff --git a/include/acpi/processor.h b/include/acpi/processor.h >> index db427fa..8b2c39a 100644 >> --- a/include/acpi/processor.h >> +++ b/include/acpi/processor.h >> @@ -332,7 +332,6 @@ int acpi_processor_power_exit(struct acpi_processor *pr, >> struct acpi_device *device); >> int acpi_processor_suspend(struct device *dev); >> int acpi_processor_resume(struct device *dev); >> -extern struct cpuidle_driver acpi_idle_driver; >> >> /* in processor_thermal.c */ >> int acpi_processor_get_limit_info(struct acpi_processor *pr); > > -- <http://www.linaro.org/> Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro> Facebook | <http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg> Twitter | <http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog/> Blog -- 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
