Sephe, the patch is good, please commit it any time. I like the
shortcut you used to change the frequency... I wasn't even thinking
about simply changing the periodic reload value, but that's clearly the
most effective way to do it.
We may want to put an upper limit on the frequency to avoid livelocking
the system... say something like 20000 hz (50uS). So e.g.:
if (phz <= 0)
return EINVAL;
if (phz > DEVICE_POLLING_MAX_FREQ) <<< ADDME
phz = DEVICE_POLLING_MAX_FREQ; <<< ADDME
And then add a #ifndef/#define/#endif sequence so it can be specified as
an option. But it isn't critical. If you decide to do that, just make
the changes, test, and commit.
