Subject: [PATCH] intel_idle: Set dev->power_specified
Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2010 17:44:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101008174445.353eb83e@endymion.delvare> (raw)

The intel_idle driver defines power consumption for all states, but
they can't be seen in sysfs because the driver doesn't set
dev->power_specified, while the idle code expects that.

This is the simple fix. But in all honesty, I don't get the point of
dev->power_specified. It should be equally easy to check if the first
state's .power has a non-zero value, and at least this doesn't require
any cooperation from the driver. As it stands, I expect that future
drivers will have the same problem intel_idle had, i.e. they will
forget to set dev->power_specified and power consumption values
won't be visible in syfs.

Am I missing any obvious problem? If not, I'll be happy to provide an
alternative patch dropping dev->power_specified altogether.
