| 199 | What: ACPI hooks (X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI) in speedstep-centrino driver | ||
| 200 | When: December 2006 | ||
| 201 | Why: Speedstep-centrino driver with ACPI hooks and acpi-cpufreq driver are | ||
| 202 | functionally very much similar. They talk to ACPI in same way. Only | ||
| 203 | difference between them is the way they do frequency transitions. | ||
| 204 | One uses MSRs and the other one uses IO ports. Functionaliy of | ||
| 205 | speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks is now merged into acpi-cpufreq. | ||
| 206 | That means one common driver will support all Intel Enhanced Speedstep | ||
| 207 | capable CPUs. That means less confusion over name of | ||
| 208 | speedstep-centrino driver (with that driver supposed to be used on | ||
| 209 | non-centrino platforms). That means less duplication of code and | ||
| 210 | less maintenance effort and no possibility of these two drivers | ||
| 211 | going out of sync. | ||
| 212 | Current users of speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks are requested to | ||
| 213 | switch over to acpi-cpufreq driver. speedstep-centrino will continue | ||
| 214 | to work using older non-ACPI static table based scheme even after this | ||
| 215 | date. | ||
