Subject: [PATCH v5 2/5] cpufreq/amd-pstate: add kernel command line to override dynamic epp
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 23:14:38 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106051441.60093-3-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106051441.60093-1-superm1@kernel.org>
From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>
Add `amd_dynamic_epp=enable` and `amd_dynamic_epp=disable` to override
the kernel configuration option `CONFIG_X86_AMD_PSTATE_DYNAMIC_EPP`
locally.
