Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: Update scaling_cur_freq documentation
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 01:49:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3486081.4q1pf2aZmx@aspire.rjw.lan> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5158983.ihgooJZPke@aspire.rjw.lan>

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

Commit f8475cef9008 "x86: use common aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu() to
calculate KHz using APERF/MPERF" modified the way the scaling_cur_freq
cpufreq policy attribute in sysfs is handled on contemporary
Intel-based x86 systems, so update the documentation to reflect
that change.
