Subject: [PATCH 2/6] cpufreq: Only query drivers that implement cpufreq_driver.target()
Date: Fri,  1 Feb 2013 10:45:37 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359744343-18690-4-git-send-email-dirk.brandewie@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1359744343-18690-1-git-send-email-dirk.brandewie@gmail.com>

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@intel.com>

Scaling drivers that implement cpufreq_driver.setpolicy() have
internal governors and may/will change the current operating frequency
very frequently this will cause cpufreq_out_of_sync() to be called
every time. Only call cpufreq_driver.get() for drivers that implement
cpufreq_driver.target()
