In principle we can't, but I think that it should be "either, or". Either the platform implements set_target() and uses the value provided by it, or it uses the argument passed to the other functions. Alternatively, I could write that the argument passed to .enter() etc. is guaranteed to be the same as the one passed to .set_target(), but I didn't want to say that. :-) Greetings, Rafael -- "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." - Donald Knuth _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
