-What: ACPI hooks (X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI) in speedstep-centrino driver
-When: December 2006
-Why: Speedstep-centrino driver with ACPI hooks and acpi-cpufreq driver are
- functionally very much similar. They talk to ACPI in same way. Only
- difference between them is the way they do frequency transitions.
- One uses MSRs and the other one uses IO ports. Functionaliy of
- speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks is now merged into acpi-cpufreq.
- That means one common driver will support all Intel Enhanced Speedstep
- capable CPUs. That means less confusion over name of
- speedstep-centrino driver (with that driver supposed to be used on
- non-centrino platforms). That means less duplication of code and
- less maintenance effort and no possibility of these two drivers
- going out of sync.
- Current users of speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks are requested to
- switch over to acpi-cpufreq driver. speedstep-centrino will continue
- to work using older non-ACPI static table based scheme even after this
- date.
