In case of EM, each port will have at least three leds (activity, locate and fault). Since these LED's are part of EM hence we need to ensure that tools like ledmon and ledctl (which uses libahci sysfs) works well. The main question is, what is recommended approach to override libachi enclosure managements transfer led messages function? A platform driver or something else. Tejun and/or Hans do you have any recommendation ? - Brijesh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
