The MPU state is controlled from the cpuidle framework, which retrieves the MPU allowed latency from the PM QoS framework. This is supported on OMAP2. Cf. the table of states and the associated latency in arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c. > Which puzzles me..

Using the PM QoS API defnitely is supported, that is why I think the conversion needs to be performed. >>> Therefore, it makes sense to actually remove this call entirely from >>> the ir-rx51 driver as it is both wrong and does nothing useful at the >>> moment. >>> >>> Signed-off-by: Timo Kokkonen <timo.t.kokkonen@xxxxxx> >> >> Regards, >> Jean >> Thanks, Jean -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
