AMD Heterogeneous CPU Design Topology Patches Coming For Linux 6.13

The latest patches from AMD Linux engineers for working on x86 heterogeneous design identification were queued last week for introduction in the Linux 6.13 kernel.

The x86 Heterogeneous design identification patch series was queued last week into tip/tip.git's "x86/cpu" Git branch, thereby making it material for adding to the Linux 6.13 merge window barring any last minute issues from coming to light. Drivers such as `amd_pstate` need to identify the type of core to correctly set an appropriate boost numerator to calculate the maximum frequency. The Linux 6.13 merge window will be opening up during the back half of November while the stable kernel will be out in February.
