Re: [PATCH v5 03/12] PM / devfreq: Don't adjust to user limits in governors

From: Matthias Kaehlcke
Date: Thu Aug 02 2018 - 19:36:04 EST


Hi Chanwoo,

this patch and "PM / devfreq: Fix handling of min/max_freq == 0"
address issues not directly related with the throttler. It seems it
could still take a while for the throttler to move forward, do you
want me to spin out these two patches so that they can get merged
independently from the rest of the series?

Thanks

Matthias
