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. | ||
