Also, don't use 'dvfs' as a prefix in the kernel, too many other people will think it is a filesystem. How about "dynvolt"? Or anything else, just no 'fs' in the name otherwise confusion will reign. > a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) *technique that minimizes the > total system energy consumption for performing a task while satisfying > a given execution time constraint.

Please put this in the changelog entry, you need to explain it to those of us who have never seen it. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
