AMD Prepping Fixes & Enhancements For P-State CPUFreq Driver


The AMD P-State CPU frequency scaling driver for Zen 2 and newer processors has been working out well in its roughly two years of being in the mainline Linux kernel

The AMD P-State CPU frequency scaling driver for Zen 2 and newer processors has been working out well in its roughly two years of being in the mainline Linux kernel. The delay and latency values are to be read from the BIOS ACPI tables that are set according to the platform design/requirements rather than relying on previously hardcoded defaults within the AMD P-State driver. This patch series is also enabling ACPI Collaborative Processor Performance Controls v2 (CPPCv2) for select Zen 2 CPUs too where previously lacking.
