[PATCH 5.10 079/103] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Override parameters if HWP forced by BIOS

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 27 2021 - 13:15:02 EST


From: Doug Smythies <doug.smythies@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d9a7e9df731670acdc69e81748941ad338f47fab ]

If HWP has been already been enabled by BIOS, it may be
necessary to override some kernel command line parameters.
Once it has been enabled it requires a reset to be disabled.
