I was just thinking the power_save() function could be unique to a board. It has to be something combined with the power save mode chosen on the chip, so machdep calls may not be appropriate. We are using names like ppc6xx_pm_idle, ppc4xx, ppc8xx, when it could be my_custom_board_pm_idle......Just don't assume one type of chip will use the same function on different boards. When the idle/power save function is chosen, it should probably be done during board setup, not processor set up. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
