Subject: [PATCH v6 2/5] cpufreq/amd-pstate: add kernel command line to override dynamic epp
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 15:38:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329203811.2590633-3-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260329203811.2590633-1-superm1@kernel.org>

Add `amd_dynamic_epp=enable` and `amd_dynamic_epp=disable` to override
the kernel configuration option `CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE_DYNAMIC_EPP`
locally.
