[PATCH 07/12] hdaps: delay calibration to first hardware query

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The hdaps driver currently calibrates its rest position upon
initialization, which can take several seconds on first module load
(and delays the boot process accordingly). This patch delays 
calibration to the first successful hardware query, when the
information is available anyway. Writes to the "calibrate" sysfs
attribute are handled likewise.
