From 86e13684aa77f07c77db352f437d9e53a84dde90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Renninger Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:48:30 +0200 Subject: [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Set transition latency to 1 if ACPI tables export 0 This doesn't fix anything, but it's expected that a transition latency of 0 could cause trouble in the future.
