[PATCH 2/2 2.6.37.stable] intel_idle: disable Atom/Lincroft HW C-state auto-demotion

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>

upstream bfb53ccf1c734b1907df7189eef4c08489827951

Just as we had to disable auto-demotion for NHM/WSM,
we need to do the same for Atom (Lincroft version).

In particular, auto-demotion will prevent Lincroft
from entering the S0i3 idle power saving state.
