In the meantime we agreed that we don't have to use the clock-frequency property for eas. Instead, we can derive the cpu capacity values directly from the energy model. This will free us from the dependency towards this dtb property and the cpu_efficiency for the arm arch. This patch won't be part of the next posting any more. -- Dietmar > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
