I'd prefer introduce something like this, struct thermal_bind_params { int trip; unsigned long upper; unsinged long lower; int weight; int sample_period; } and use thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device(tz, cdev, thermal_bind_params)= , throttle_policy should be set when invoking thermal_zone_device_register. is there any information in thermal_zone_params can not be convert to thermal_bind_params? thanks, rui > Say, when we obtain platform data from a thermal driver, it > should know 'what format the platform data is' ..correct ? >=20 > I theoretically agree with you that individual platform drivers can > have data in their own format, but that will be a heavy loss on > standardization. >=20 > So, > I will remove the extra bind code I added to framework, and > (keep it the old way it was) but still prefer to have the structure > put in thermal.h. >=20 > Thanks, > Durga -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
