[PATCH 0/1] platform/x86/amd/pmf: Introduce option to disable Smart PC function in PMF
Posted by Alexey Zagorodnikov 3 weeks ago
This patch introduces an option to disable Smart PC function in amd_pmf driver.
Sometimes, the vendor firmware may contain bugs or other unwanted behaviours in the power management domain.
This option allows the user to manually disable Smart PC power management and fall back to another strategy.

This description should be mostly in the patch itself (with some changes, 
I'll explain here).

Also, please avoid phrases that start with "This patch", "This change" 
etc. but use imperative tone.

If there are any symptoms how an user could identify this feature is the 
culprit, please quote/mention them in the changelog so it can be more 
easily found by searches.

Don't use vague phrases like this but explicitly tell what "This option" 
option is (according to the patch, you're adding "a module parameter").
