Subject: Re: final set of EC init patches
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 00:34:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200703070034.06530.lenb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <45E6050D.2060908@linux.intel.com>

why is fake_ecdt no longer necessary -- because ec initializes first now?

while I'm glad to see the ec_burst_enable exported -- it is currently
not called and we continue to always operate in normal mode, yes?

it seems that burst mode is intended for when we want to push
a series of commands to the ec, so we'd
1. enable burst mode
2. do a bunch of ec transactions
2. disable burst mode
right?

Anybody got any candidates for a series of transactions that would
benefit from this mode?  If yes, is it possible to detect an efficiency
benefit from enabling burst mode for that series?

yes, i like "boot_ec" better than "ec_ecdt".

as usual, they patch series is "light" on check-in comments --
in particular, there are none at all explaining why these
changes are necessary.

thanks,
-Len

ps. mbox applies better if "From" is not replaced by ">From"
