Re: [PATCH] leds/trigger/activity: add a system activity LED trigger

Hi Willy,

Thanks for the patch.

Unfortunately I'm getting following build break, while trying to
test it on recent linux-next:

drivers/leds/trigger/ledtrig-activity.c: In function
'led_activity_function':
drivers/leds/trigger/ledtrig-activity.c:67:14: error: implicit
declaration of function 'cputime64_to_jiffies64'
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
curr_idle = cputime64_to_jiffies64(curr_idle);

Best regards,
Jacek Anaszewski
