From 1bab64d50e09706ee2e634b2df3c53346f0a0dbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viresh Kumar Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 23:58:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] acpi-cpufreq: Add comment under ACPI_ADR_SPACE_SYSTEM_IO case policy->cur is now set by cpufreq core when cpufreq_driver->get() is defined and so drivers aren't required to set it. When space_id is ACPI_ADR_SPACE_SYSTEM_IO for acpi cpufreq driver it doesn't set ->get to a valid function pointer and so policy->cur is required to be set by driver. This is already followed in acpi-cpufreq driver. This patch adds a comment describing why we need to set policy->cur from driver. Suggested-by: Rafael J.
