TBH I think most of the devices for which people are running these days will be able to get some win from the system wide stuff - the WFI modes aren't exactly the latest thing in hardware terms, it's just been a long road to getting them supported. Infrastructure like Mark's PM QoS work and Raphael's PM domains work has really helped a lot here. > > patches in mailing lists that show how to un-require it.

It's mostly a transition management issue I think. When I repost I'll add an additional patch on top which moves the clock gating into the runtime PM callbacks, that way the decision on that doesn't block the system wide work. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
