Subject: [PATCH] powernow-k8: Fixup missing _PSS objects message
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 17:07:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342624043-29763-1-git-send-email-bp@amd64.org> (raw)

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

_PSS objects can also be missing if Cool'N'Quiet is disabled in the
BIOS. Add that to the FW_BUG message for the user to try before updating
her BIOS. Fix formatting while at it.
