Well, if the android people keep rejecting all sensible approaches to power savings except their suspend blocker mess, then I don't see why we should support their ill designed mess. We should strive to provide an interface that can be used by all interested parties to conserve power; if Android really is the only possible user of the interface then I don't see any reason at all to merge it, they might as well keep it in their private tree. -- 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/
