Ok in this case it will be better to drop the 2/3 and add a small series
doing for the cpu_cooling.c
#ifdef CONFIG_THERMAL_GOV_POWER_ALLOCATOR
/* structure freq */
/* power2state */
/* state2power*/
/* getrequestedpower */
/* All functions needed for the above */
#endif
static struct thermal_cooling_device_ops cpufreq_cooling_ops = {
.get_max_state = cpufreq_get_max_state,
.get_cur_state = cpufreq_get_cur_state,
.set_cur_state = cpufreq_set_cur_state,
#ifdef CONFIG_THERMAL_GOV_POWER_ALLOCATOR
.get_requested_power = cpufreq_get_requested_power,
.state2power = cpufreq_state2power,
.power2state = cpufreq_power2state,
#endif
};
So you don't have to care about ENERGY_MODEL to be set as
THERMAL_GOV_POWER_ALLOCATOR depends on it.
I think the result for cpu_cooling.c will be even more cleaner with the
em change.
