This is a nice method to save power, because 8 the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. 9 10 Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU 11 clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor 12 (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool. 13 14 For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>. 15 16 If in doubt, say N. 17 18if CPU_FREQ 19 20config CPU_FREQ_GOV_COMMON 21 bool 22 23config CPU_FREQ_BOOST_SW 24 bool 25 depends on THERMAL 26 27config CPU_FREQ_STAT 28 tristate "CPU frequency translation statistics" 29 default y 30 help 31 This driver exports CPU frequency statistics information through sysfs 32 file system. 33 34 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 35 module will be called cpufreq_stats. 36 37 If in doubt, say N. 38 39config CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS 40 bool "CPU frequency translation statistics details" 41 depends on CPU_FREQ_STAT 42 help 43 This will show detail CPU frequency translation table in sysfs file 44 system. 45 46 If in doubt, say N. 47 48choice 49 prompt "Default CPUFreq governor" 50 default CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE if ARM_SA1100_CPUFREQ || ARM_SA1110_CPUFREQ 51 default CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE 52 help 53 This option sets which CPUFreq governor shall be loaded at 54 startup.
