[PATCH 1/2] pm: cpupower: bench: print path fopen failed

[Peng Fan (OSS)]

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com>

Print out the config file path when fopen failed. It will be easy
for users to know where to create the file.

[PATCH 2/2] pm: cpupower: Makefile: better support cross-compiling

[Peng Fan (OSS)]

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com>

Allow overridding the envs, this will be easier to user Yocto
cross-compiler toolchains to build cpupower with only two steps:

source (toolchain path)/environment-setup-armv8a-poky-linux
make

Hello Peng,

These two seem like two separate patches and usually a series has a
cover letter. Did you mean to send them separately or is something missing?

I think the two patches are just small patches, so send them
together and not write cover-letter for them.

I could write the cover-letter in v2 if there are any comments.

Thanks,
Peng.

Send these two patches as a series with a cover letter.

Also what is changing - you can include what change: use the
same subject line in here.

The subject line can be improved to say more than fopen() failed.
Which file open failed?

The message can be informative about which file:
  about which file.

e.g: pm: cpupower: bench: print config file path when open fails

While you are at it, fix it to use strerror() instead of calling perror()
followed by fprintf().

Improve subject line. "better support cross-compiling" doesn't
tell me much. "Allow overriding cross-compiling env params" would
is a better subject line for this patch.

"Allow overriding the cross-comple env parameters to make it
easier for Yactor users."

Then add what it is like now and how this change helps.

spelling "overridding"?. Run checkpatch on patches before sending.

What steps do you have to take without this change? Include that
in the changelog

Send v2 with cover-letter to make easier for reviewers.

Seems the usage of perror is in the whole file. Could the conversion
to sterror() be done in a separate patch?

Yes. That can be a separate patch. Please send them together in a patch series.
I will pull those in after the merge window closes.
