[PATCH 1/2] linaro-pm-qa-utils: Add power management test utils

[Chase Maupin]

* The power management test utilities from Linaro can be used
  to test multiple PM features such as cpufreq, cpuidle, thermal
  control and suspend operations.
* These utilities are not platform specific and can be used by
  a broader base of users.

[PATCH 2/2] mmc-utils: Add user space mmc utilities for eMMC

[Chase Maupin]

* The mmc-utils are useful userspace utilities for configuring and
  working with MMC devices.  These are particularly useful when
  working with eMMC devices to do the initial programming of the
  device.

PN should me 'pm-qa' or 'pm-qa-utils'. And it would fit better in meta-oe since it's not 'core' enough for oe-core.

Agreed.

I'm open to discussion on that. Certainly if there is just one user,
meta-oe would be appropriate. If these are generically useful and the
plan is we integrate these into the larger automated test picture,
oe-core may make sense.

So if there a bigger picture plan here? Would these make sense in the
broader picture?

Richard

Well, we certainly use them for test and they are generic enough to apply to a broader audience which is why I thought to put them here first.  There is nothing TI specific and I don't think they are even necessarily ARM specific either.

I prefer if this is done in meta-oe first and we move to oe-core when
needed. For now it is at very beginning so we still does not know what
will be the real final picture of t.

What are you afraid of?  Putting this in OE-core _may_ make sense
if it serves a larger community, but having it there will not be
destabilizing, so why not?

We should always strive towards making OE-Core leaner, therefore we
should evaluate the real common usecase. which means there must be a
good justification to add it there

The OE-Core addition is something which ought to be done when
something becomes a 'standard' in our use or used by most. Until this
really happens this is still a goal. So better to move it to OE-Core
when we see the profit of doing it is good enough.

So are there other people that have an interest in these utilities for testing power management features of the kernel?  It sounds like that is the question you have in order to help decide whether this is a common use case or not.

Koen, 

Do you know, or perhaps the Linaro QA team would know, how many people are using these utilities?

I do; and I appreciate it being add. My point is start in meta-oe and
we move it here when needed.

OK.  I'll make a patch for meta-oe.  Any issues with the second patch in the series adding mmc-utils?

I am fine with those to be included in core; I think eMMC are quite
common nowadays and having an utility which makes easier to work with
it is quite important for installed. As soon as it is merged, I will
use it in meta-fsl-arm MfgTool images...
