Re: [PATCH 4/9] cpuidle: Introduce .abbr (abbrevation) for cpuidle states

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm not fond of inventing a new 3-character abbreviation field
for every state because display tools can't handle the existing
16-character name field.

If the display tools can only handle 3 characters,
then why not have them simply use the 1st 3 characters
of the existing name field?  If that is not unique,
then re-arrange the strings so that it is unique...

Of course the ACPI part of this patch will not apply,
as it depends on patch 1 in this series, which was erroneous.
For ACPI, the existing name field is already fine,
as C%d fits into 3 characters.
