Good point, I don't know. :) Probably Eliad has the answer for that. In any case, I don't see why this behaviour should be different in the different board files. If there is the problem of power consumption while in suspend, we will have it also with the 4430sdp board. I'm not sure about doing it dynamically, though. I think it would be more of a kernel configuration option or something. At least the board file is not the correct place to decide whether the wl12xx chip will support WoW or not. And, if we change only the MMC capabilities of the wl12xx chip, we won't hurt other scenarios, when the wl12xx chip is not in use. -- Cheers, Luca. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
