Hi,

apologies for the delay in replying, but I'm attending Linux Plumbers
this week.

Include files at the top of the file please.  No need to ifdef them.
They're sorted alphabetically, so new additions should be alphabetical.
(That's a general rule - if something is already alphabetical, do not
make it non-alphabetical.)

Way too many lines for such a simple function.  This can be simplified
to just:

	struct cpu *cpu = container_of(dev, struct cpu, dev);

	return sprintf(buf, "%lu\n", arch_scale_cpu_capacity(NULL, cpu->dev.id);

If you don't like the last line ending on column 79, then feel free to
break it across two lines after the format string.

Unnecessary cast - kstrtoul takes a const char pointer, and in any case
it's really bad form to cast away the "const-ness" of any pointer.  So,
just:

	if (count) {
		ret = kstrtoul(buf, 0, &new_capacity);

should work just fine.

There's a move to use the named DEVICE_ATTR_RW() for this kind of thing,
it'll want the functions named xxx_show() and xxx_store().  I see
there's some recent patches to do this conversion across the kernel, so
this should probably be done before submission.

Hmm, this is really weird.  topology_init() in arch/arm/kernel/setup.c
is where these devices get created, and they're created at
subsys_initcall() time.  By that point, the list of possible CPUs has
to be static, it's not going to change.  I don't see why this has to be
done at late_initcall() - and since topology.c will be linked after
setup.c, I don't see why it shouldn't be at subsys_initcall() level to
follow on after topology_init().

I should have addressed your comments with the updated version below. If
it looks good to you I'll superseed the old version with this new one.

Best,

- Juri

Subject: [PATCH v7.1 8/9] arm: add sysfs cpu_capacity attribute

Add a sysfs cpu_capacity attribute with which it is possible to read and
write (thus over-writing default values) CPUs capacity. This might be
useful in situations where values needs changing after boot.

The new attribute shows up as:

 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpu_capacity

Changes from v5:
  - add mutex to protect cpu_scale (as pointed out by Morten off-line)

Changes from v7:
  - include files moved at top of file
  - show_cpu_capacity simplified to less lines of code
  - unnecessary cast removed in store_cpu_capacity
  - use DEVICE_ATTR_RW() instead of DEVICE_ATTR()
  - use subsys_initcall instead of late_initcall
