From: Mario Limonciello Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 22:19:47 +0000 (-0500) Subject: cpufreq/amd-pstate: Drop Kconfig option for dynamic EPP X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc5~32^2^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e4e9b7b38d5db2cc6a8770bc0596bb8b36b92b1f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git cpufreq/amd-pstate: Drop Kconfig option for dynamic EPP There are some performance issues being identified by dynamic EPP and we don't want to have distributions turning it on by default exposing them to users at this time. Drop the kconfig option, and require an explicit opt in from kernel command line or runtime sysfs option to turn it on.
