From 6b8710a23d8a2bd2092d9a3ef50fa992cdaaf620 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yanmin Zhang Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2011 11:43:27 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] printk: add ignore_loglevel as module parameter We are enabling some power features on medfield. To test suspend-2-RAM conveniently, we need turn on/off ignore_loglevel frequently without rebooting.
