Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: ondemand: Replace down_differential tuner with adj_up_threshold
Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2013 23:04:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <511173DF.8060308@semaphore.gr> (raw)

In order to avoid the calculation of up_threshold - down_differential
every time that the frequency must be decreased, we replace the
down_differential tuner with the adj_up_threshold which keeps the
difference across multiple checks.

Update the adj_up_threshold only when the up_theshold is also updated.
