Subject: [ndctl PATCH 0/2] fix the nfit_test fallback for 'ndctl bat'
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:16:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160324011648.20651.33434.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.jf.intel.com> (raw)

Per test results from Ross [1] we don't want 'ndctl bat' to require
nfit_test.  Patch2 rearranges the fallback to only trigger when an
ACPI.NFIT provider is found.

This uncovered an interesting failure mode whereby
ndctl_bus_get_by_provider() failed to locate an expected bus.  The fix
for that lead to the creation of a new ndctl_invalidate() api, see
patch1 for the details.
