Subject: [PATCH v2] cpufreq: elanfreq: Drop support for AMD Elan SC4*
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 10:01:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507090107.10113-1-sean@mess.org> (raw)
Since commit 8b793a92d862 ("x86/cpu: Remove M486/M486SX/ELAN support"),
the AMD Elan SC4* is no longer supported, so the cpu frequency
driver is no longer needed.
Signed-off-by: Sean Young <sean@mess.org>

Changes since v1:
- Also removes elanfreq= entry from kernel-parameters.txt
