There is no planned replacement for early suspend, and it will probably be dropped form the android kernel at some point. The wifi driver use it to enter a lower operating state when the screen is off. If you driver does have any other way to put the driver in this state you need to add an interface that lets user-space select that state directly. > Since the thread covers wake locks, have you ironed out > what you are going to do with that as well? > The wakelock code did not get merged. Instead there is a new interface that should provide the same functionality to drivers, but this has not integrated with android yet (and you cannot use it directly as it does not provide the same user-space interface). In theory, you should be able to replace all the wakelocks in your driver with calls to the mainline api. Even if you cannot test the result this is better than just deleting the wakelocks. -- Arve Hjønnevåg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
