As far as I (and grep) can see, the only drivers that are defining
input.transfer.trim.* or input.transfer.boost.* are:
mge-hid.c:
This driver explicitly treats input.transfer.boost.low as an alias for
input.transfer.low. Similarly, input.transfer.trim.high is an alias
for input.transfer.high.
mge-utalk.h:
Exactly the same behavior as mge-hid.c.
al175.c:
This driver only defines input.transfer.boost.low, and does not
define any other variables in the input.transfer.* family.
There are no drivers that distinguish input.transfer.boost.low from
input.transfer.low or input.transfer.trim.high from input.transfer.high.
So I agree with you that the variables are redundant; strictly
speaking, only four of them are needed:
input.transfer.low
input.transfer.boost
input.transfer.trim (buck?)
input.transfer.high
I suspect that the low/high terminology comes from MGE, as their
drivers are the only ones using them. You better check with Arnaud
before making any changes.
