From 055b5d73bef0898d477188372b215cd2ec82fe81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Message-Id: <055b5d73bef0898d477188372b215cd2ec82fe81.1381624602.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org> From: Viresh Kumar Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2013 07:00:01 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: acpi: Add comment under ACPI_ADR_SPACE_SYSTEM_IO case policy->cur is now set by cpufreq core when cpufreq_driver->get() is defined and so drivers aren't required to set it. When space_id is ACPI_ADR_SPACE_SYSTEM_IO for acpi cpufreq driver it doesn't set ->get to a valid function pointer and so policy->cur is required to be set by driver. This is already followed in acpi-cpufreq driver. This patch adds a comment describing why we need to set policy->cur from driver. Suggested-by: Rafael J.
