A recent attempt to convert the Power Reset Restart driver to tristate failed because of the following compile error (reported once merged by Stephen Rothwell via Linux Next): ERROR: "machine_restart" [drivers/power/reset/restart-poweroff.ko] undefined! This error occurs since some of the machine_restart() instances are not currently exported for use in modules. This patch aims to rectify that. Signed-off-by: Lee Jones <redacted>quoted
NB: If it's safe to omit some of these, let me know and I'll revise the patch.How do you plan to handle that? Isn't this an all-or-nothing export?
That's the way I see it, but I don't have an in-depth knowledge of all of the architectures. There may be a method there that isn't part of the core API. If that's the case, I can drop the export.

Thanks Geert. I'll pick this up when I do the re-spin shortly. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Senior Technical Lead - Developer Services Linaro.org │ Open source software for Arm SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
