Subject: [PATCH v14 5/9] platform/x86: asus-armoury: add core count control
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 03:47:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251015014736.1402045-6-benato.denis96@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251015014736.1402045-1-benato.denis96@gmail.com>

From: "Luke D. Jones" <luke@ljones.dev>

Implement Intel core enablement under the asus-armoury module using the
fw_attributes class.

This allows users to enable or disable preformance or efficiency cores
depending on their requirements. After change a reboot is required.
