Why would we ever want to change this? Why make this configurable at all, how is a distro supposed to set this value? Shouldn't it be specified from the driver itself? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

These are platform level parameters, that can differ for various platforms. (Mostly due to board design and thermistor layouts). Stand-alone thermal sensor drivers are not (need not be) aware of these values. That's why these values are made configurable.

Pushing work onto other people, without telling them what they need to do, isn't nice. Please, either make it auto-configurable, or don't make it configurable at all. As it is, this is useless for a distro, or any "normal" user, right? If these are platform specific things, shouldn't they be defined in the platform data for the hardware? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

These values are for OEM's to configure according to their platform design. So, not making them configurable won't be good IMHO. But, as you said, for normal users, it does not matter; so they can leave it as it is, which will set it to the default value (i.e 1).

Ok, but you are guaranteeing that the same kernel can not work on multiple platforms, which is something that people have been working very hard to solve. So again, please make this a platform data field, or autoconfigurable, and not a kernel build time configuration option, that isn't acceptable anymore. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pm" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
