From 2bc756e7dde20972300bb8e2e46dd430d6d2d5db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2017 23:22:29 +0100 Subject: cpufreq: intel_pstate: Do not use performance_limits in passive mode Using performance_limits in the passive mode doesn't make sense, because in that mode the global limits are applied to the frequency selected by the scaling governor. The maximum and minimum P-state limits in performance_limits are both set to 100 percent which will put all CPUs into the turbo range regardless of what governor is used and what frequencies are selected by it (that is particularly undesirable on CPUs with the generic powersave governor attached). For this reason, make intel_pstate_register_driver() always point limits to powersave_limits in the passive mode.
