We generally try to merge new features like this along with code that uses said feature, but there are always exceptions. We've merged code one release or more before the new code gets used for example, which is fine IMO. What we don't want to see is some new drop of code added and abandoned, but you already knew that. At any rate, if Felipe is the only one arguing against including suspend blockers in the kernel, you're probably in good shape. Based on my (rather cursory I admit) evaluation of this thread, it seems like reasonable people agree that there's a place for a suspend blocker like API in the kernel, and that dynamic power management is also highly desirable. So where's the git pull request already? :) -- Jesse Barnes, Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
