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