From bce59b602dace036b797144b1a5851318cbc85f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Kepplinger Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:26:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] iio: mma8452: use runtime pm instead of device specific autosleep What is this autosleep? ----------------------- It slows down the device after x seconds of inactivity. The thing is, we have really achieved almost the same by runtime pm. differnces are: autosleep * uses more power during inactivity * the first read after inactivity slightly faster * complicated to understand for the user * no documented sysfs interface (afaik) * complicated to read and maintain runtime pm * already merged in mma8452 * uses less power during inactivity * first read after inactivity slower * easy to use. well documented. * easy to maintain and understand The two approaches solve the same problem. runtime pm has more advantages than autosleep and comes quite close to it's behaviour anyways. As I see it, autosleep, even if somehow supported, would never be used anyways. So resolve this issue by "ignoring" autosleep.
