           This driver adds a CPUFreq driver which utilizes the ACPI
           Processor Performance States.
+          This driver also supports Intel Enhanced Speedstep.
 
           For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.

+          This is deprecated and this functionality is now merged into
+          acpi_cpufreq (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ). Use that driver instead of
+          speedstep_centrino.
           Use primarily the information provided in the BIOS ACPI tables
           to determine valid CPU frequency and voltage pairings. It is
           required for the driver to work on non-Banias CPUs.
