Hi Nico, Thanks for doing this renaming. I remember that you asked me to do this while working on cpu_power but my work has not evolved as fast as expected and as it already implies some renaming other than s/power/capacity/ i have postponed it to not make review to complex.
Nevertheless, i can manage the conflicts afterward and rebase my patches, depending of the review status Vincent On 14 May 2014 22:57, Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pi...@linaro.org> wrote: > "Power" is a very bad term in the scheduler context.
