Dudes,

what are those new symbols in Kconfig and why do they wanna get enabled
on my box when doing oldconfig? Depends on X86? Really, that widespread?

Well, they depend on ACPI too and it doesn't look like there is anything more fine grained that could be used here.

Also I'm not sure if adding ACPI_DPTF (bool, disabled by default and depending on x86) would help a lot.


The help text doesn't say why do I need this...
And that thing in sysfs:

"/sys/bus/platform/drivers/DPTF Platform Power"

has spaces in the name. What's going on?!

Obviously an oversight on my part, sorry.

I think that changing it to "dptf_power" (and analogously for the FIVR participant driver) should work.  Srinivas?
