Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: menu: Update stale polling override comment
Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2018 12:55:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2037635.8RjXc8lXCc@aspire.rjw.lan> (raw)

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The comment to explain why the menu governor uses idle state 1
instead of idle state 0 as the first one sometimes is stale (among
other things it mentions a user setting not present any more),
so update it.
