Re: [PATCH v4 1/5] thermal: Add generic cpufreq cooling implementation

From: amit kachhap
Date: Tue Jul 10 2012 - 00:46:50 EST


Hi Rob/Eduardo,

As these patches have still not made into mainline. I will rebase the
whole set along with your suggestion and send them shortly.
Sorry for late reply.

Thanks,
Amit Daniel
