      intel_pstate: skip the driver if ACPI has power mgmt option · fbbcdc07
      Adrian Huang 提交于
      Do not load the Intel pstate driver if the platform firmware
      (ACPI BIOS) supports the power management alternatives.
      The ACPI BIOS indicates that the OS control mode can be used
      if the _PSS (Performance Supported States) is defined in ACPI
      table. For the OS control mode, the Intel pstate driver will be
      loaded.
      
      HP BIOS has several power management modes (firmware, OS-control and
      so on). For the OS control mode in HP BIOS, the Intel p-state driver
      will be loaded. When the customer chooses the firmware power
      management in HP BIOS, the Intel p-state driver will be ignored.
      
      I put hw_vendor_info vendor_info in case other vendors (Dell, Lenovo...)
      have their firmware power management. Vendors should make sure their
      firmware power management works properly, and they can go for adding
      their vendor info to the variable.
      
      I have verified the patch on HP ProLiant servers.  The patch worked
      correctly.

      [Linda Knippers: As Adrian has recently left HP, I retested the
      updated patch on an HP ProLiant server and verified that it is
      behaving correctly.  When the BIOS is configured for OS control for
      power management, the intel_pstate driver loads as expected.  When
      the BIOS is configured to provide the power management, the
      intel_pstate driver does not load and we get the pcc_cpufreq driver
      instead.]
