Subject: [PATCH V2] arm64: skip register_cpufreq_notifier on ACPI-based systems
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 11:08:32 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1485454112-4823-1-git-send-email-pprakash@codeaurora.org> (raw)
On ACPI based systems where the topology is setup using the API
store_cpu_topology, at the moment we do not have necessary code
to parse cpu capacity and handle cpufreq notifier, thus
resulting in a kernel panic.
Stack:
