Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] cpufreq: Drop unused symbol CPUFREQ_ETERNAL
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 12:31:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3679164.iIbC2pHGDl@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5069803.31r3eYUQgx@rafael.j.wysocki>

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Drop CPUFREQ_ETERNAL that has no users any more along with all
references to it in the documentation.

No functional impact.
