x86-power-control - slot AC cycle

[Velumani T-ERS,HCLTech]

Hi team,

We are using a x86-power-control for host power control in a multi host system. We have the host as FRU and it can be plugged in to a slot. The slot has an option to control slot power and this can be used for a AC cycle.
We propose to add the slot power control in the x86-power-control, The slot power control can be configured in json and the same can be implemented reading the json config. We can ensure the existing functionality remains unchnged and does not affect the other platforms.

The config file can have a gpio entry with the new key "Slot_Power". Only if this entry is present then the slot power will be handled, Otherwise the existing functionality remains the same. Please provide your comments/suggestions for this proposed approach.

Regards,
Velu
