From 9061e0e16700ef228837e96987ff51794c956197 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:09:08 +0100 Subject: ACPI: Load acpi-cpufreq from processor driver automatically The only left over hole in automatic cpufreq driver loading was the loading of ACPI cpufreq. This driver should be loaded when ACPI supports a _PDC method and the CPU vendor wants to use acpi cpufreq. Simply add a request module call to the acpi processor core driver when this is true. This seems like the simplest solution for this. Cc: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Acked-by: H.
