Only one caveat with OPP is that if a device isn't using OPP to do any voltage scaling, then it forces a voltage column with 0s. Also, even if we make OPP mandatory, we'll still want trans_stats that currently seem to depend on freq_table being populated. I was actually planning on sending out more patches later that'll do a lot of stuff automatically for devices with OPP. Like creating freq_table, etc. -Saravana -- The Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of the Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation -- 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/
