Message-ID: <BANLkTikn3OawHFO8y20sLuK_4LxOw7nQBg@mail.gmail.com> Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 09:39:23 -0500 From: Arthur Machlas <arthur.machlas@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Reconsider including phc-linux patch to control voltages Hi, please cc me on any replies. Five years ago a request was made[1] to include some patches from the phc-linux project. This request was rejected for reasons of stability, wasting dev time chasing bugs, and general discomfort. Mildly supportive suggestions were made to make it either a separate driver (it patches acpi-cpufreq) or call some 'tainted' flags. It is currently included in the zen kernel, and now supports out of tree building making it somewhat unecessary to include, however, the dev's seem unable to keep up with newer kernels and releases are becoming infrequent. Users now seem to be modifying the patch to make sure it cleanly applies to newer kernels. Gentoo seems to be doing this at the distro level [2]. Just wondering if any circumstances have changed that would merit reconsidering the decision to not include the patches. Many thanks, Arthur [1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/2/119 [2] http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-power/phc-intel/files/phc-intel-0.3.2.12.1-2.6.38.patch?view=markup -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
