From: Harald Welte Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 10:27:54 +0000 (+0800) Subject: CPUFREQ: Enable acpi-cpufreq driver for VIA/Centaur CPUs X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0de51088e6a82bc8413d3ca9e28bbca2788b5b53;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git CPUFREQ: Enable acpi-cpufreq driver for VIA/Centaur CPUs The VIA/Centaur C7, C7-M and Nano CPU's all support ACPI based cpu p-states using a MSR interface. The Linux driver just never made use of it, since in addition to the check for the EST flag it also checked if the vendor is Intel.
