Subject: Re: [PATCH] time: Make NTP optionnal

Hi,

2017-11-20 15:10 GMT+01:00 peter enderborg <peter.enderborg@...y.com>:
> I think it should return a error code at least.

In which case ? The idea was to don't change the behaviour of these
functions (from the "API" point of view) and to avoid regressions in
the kernel components that depend on these NTP feature.
(so be transparent the most as possible)

Thanks,
Romain
