199What: ACPI hooks (X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI) in speedstep-centrino driver
200When: December 2006
201Why: 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.
