The hw_protection_reboot and hw_protection_shutdown functions mix mechanism with policy: They let the driver requesting an emergency action for hardware protection also decide how to deal with it. This is inadequate in the general case as a driver reporting e.g. an imminent power failure can't know whether a shutdown or a reboot would be more appropriate for a given hardware platform. With the addition of the hw_protection parameter, it's now possible to configure at runtime the default emergency action and drivers are expected to use hw_protection_trigger to have this parameter dictate policy. As no current users of either hw_protection_shutdown or hw_protection_shutdown helpers remain, remove them, as not to tempt driver authors to call them. Existing users now either defer to hw_protection_trigger or call __hw_protection_trigger with a suitable argument directly when they have inside knowledge on whether a reboot or shutdown would be more appropriate.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
