What about the chip directory ? Shouldn't that be documented? And shouldn't that mention that this is just for powerpc ?
And before that, I don't think that you are doing this properly. I am sorry that I never came to a point where I could review it, and you continued with it, version after version.
But, I really have strong objections to the way this is done. And you are making things more complex then they are.
So, these stats are per-policy, right ?
Then why aren't they added on the policy->kobj instead, just like cpufreq-stats? And maybe inside cpufreq-stats folder only?
That will solve many complexities you have in place here and will look sane as well.
Right now, you have stats as two places, cpu/cpufreq/chip/ and cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/, which doesn't look wise and adds to confusion.
What do you say?
