[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] latencytop: Deprecate tracing_enabled for tracing_on

[Rongqing Li]

I would like to send this patch to upstream, but the homelink of
latencytop seems deprecated, and I can not access.

These kernel commits can prove this patch is valid.

     Commit 6752ab4a9c30 "tracing: Deprecate tracing_enabled for tracing_on"
     Commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on"
     Commit 02404baf1b47 "tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file"

Thanks.

-Roy
