I agree that perfect is the enemy of good. I think just about all of us agree that the final decision needs to be in the driver (possibly followed by something that gets various device requests and combines it into hw settings); we're just talking about what inputs feed into that decision ;) And for different types of devices that's guaranteed to be different... and sometimes we'll be hampered by existing interfaces, so we might end up with hacky stuff. -- Arjan van de Ven Intel Open Source Technology Centre For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
