Is this the power good stuff? description should be more detailed.
If there is no shunt resistance then we can not enable power monitor
on that rail. Device does not mandate to have shunt and so this is
based on platforms.
The voltage shunt also becomes meaningless (unless you have other very
small voltage drops to measure!). So drop that channel as well.
Either it is there to do current measurement or it isn't.
OK. understood.

Is the difference between driver load time and the point where usespace can
set it up significant enough to justify this?
We change the mode dynamically. If we have more core then goto the
continuous mode so that we can apply throttling if power consumption
is going more than requirement. If we are running single core then
change to oneshot mode.
That's definitely a usespace or firmware decision, not a kernel one
to my mind - unless I guess you an enforcing bringing this device up
before firing up the additional cores?
Then it's nasty but I can start to see some justification.
Yaah, this is FW decision. Our need on some platform was that start the
driver with the continuous mode.
But I think that may be specific need. I can remove this and let user
space can enable the continuous mode.
