Re: [PATCH 2/9] ARM: OMAP2+: SmartReflex: move the driver specificmacros in include/linux/power

Hi Benoit,


The main motivation is that it's a driver and thus does not have
anything to do inside mach-omap2.

Right, I understood that. mach-omap2 is not suitable for full fledged drivers.


Where will you put that otherwise?

Couple of suggestions:

drivers/platform/omap/avs?
drivers/misc/omap/avs?

I prefer first one.


IIRC, David Brownell was referring to the rule of three for such case.
Meaning that it worth having a generic fmwk when at least three
different drivers are doing the same kind of things.

Yes, I remember that rule, but that's not stopping us to create a fwk, may be others will rise once they see the framework and contribute
if their h/w architecture requirements are not addressed?
