[PATCH] [ath5k][leds] Ability to disable leds support. If leds support enabled do not force mac802.11 leds layer selection.

[Dmytro Milinevskyy]

Hello!

Here is the patch to disable ath5k leds support on build stage.
However if the leds support was enabled do not force selection of 802.11 leds layer.

The idea is good, but the implementation could be improved.

There are too many preprocessor conditionals in your patch.

It should be OK to leave the constants defined even if they are not
used.

You could add inline functions for the case when CONFIG_ATH5K_LEDS is
not defined.  That would avoid may conditionals in the code.

The same comment applies.

Also, there is nothing wrong with having an external declaration that is
not used in some particular configuration.

This is avoidable by having an inline ath5k_hw_set_ledstate() that does
nothing.

Even this is avoidable if ath5k_led_off() does nothing.  gcc should be
smart enough to optimize out unneeded function calls.

I'm not sure this complexity is needed.  Are you going to support LEDs
if CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS is disabled?

You may want to group those fields together to make the code more
readable.

I wonder if you could omit led.c completely in the Makefile.  If there
are some parts of led.c that are needed without CONFIG_ATH5K_LEDS, maybe
they belong elsewhere?

Hello, Pavel.

I will rework the patch considering your suggestions.

If there's any other place in driver that might want use LEDs w/o
exporting the interface to the userspace.

I don't understand this part.  What's the point of enabling software LEDs
if nothing triggers them?

Also, we can probably build hardware LEDs (hw_set_ledstate) in regardless.
It's a pure register write and doesn't require the rest of the LED machinery.

I assume you are doing this to reduce the size of the module.  If so, can
you include size(1) output in the commit message?

Re: [ath5k-devel] [PATCH] [ath5k][leds] Ability to disable leds support. If leds support enabled do not force mac802.11 leds layer selection.

[Dmytro Milinevskyy]

Hi, Bob.

For instance I don't use 802.11 leds layer and trigger leds from
userspace according to my purposes.

FWIW you can disable mac80211 triggers from userspace as well.
But, I guess hooking up null triggers will work too.

I didn't know. Thank you for noting that.
However I think it's better to give a chance to disable 802.11 leds.

Generic LED class is not disabled so it's possible to control leds in sysfs.

In this case no way to control LEDs. If you turn LEDs support you
can't tune them out, no?

I believe that user should be able to chose whether LEDs support is
needed or not. This is how done in intel wireless drivers. The driver
should be tolerant.
