Hi Dave,
I think this is fine.
Indeed, I actually went ahead and applied it a week or so ago.
the only alternative that I can think of is actually shortening the
ACPI C-state names in the intel_idle driver -- which is still an
option. It would not be the first time we have tweaked the names used
in that driver to make tools more happy...
My apology for neglecting to send you an ACK.
I had intended to send my queued series to the list, which would
suffice for all the ACKs, but that send and the subsequent push got
delayed by this and that. So I'll try to ack as I go, so it is clear
at any time where a patch stands.
thanks!
