[PATCH v4 11/13] cpufreq/amd-pstate: Disable preferred cores on designs with workload classification
Posted by Mario Limonciello 1 month ago
On designs that have workload classification, it's preferred that
the amd-hfi driver is used to provide hints to the scheduler of
which cores to use instead of the amd-pstate driver.
