Subject: [PATCH V2] printk: add ignore_loglevel as module parameter.
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 11:07:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1314068879.1749.10.camel@ymzhang> (raw)

We are enabling some power features on medfield. To test suspend-2-RAM
conveniently, we need turn on/off ignore_loglevel frequently without rebooting.

Below patch adds a module parameter, so users could change it by:
/sys/module/printk/parameters/ignore_loglevel

Thanks Andrew and Young. I added document info and module param desc.
