Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation: intel_pstate: PID tuning is not always available
Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2016 13:37:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1476995826-15536-3-git-send-email-srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1476995826-15536-1-git-send-email-srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com>
PID tuning is not available when the get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load()
is used to calculate target_state. So update the documentation.

Tuning Intel P-State driver
-When HWP mode is not used, debugfs files have also been added to allow the
-tuning of the internal governor algorithm. These files are located at
