CPUFreq driver's Kconfig entries are added in Kconfig.<arch> files and they are all included from the main Kconfig file using a menu entry. This creates another level of (unnecessary) hierarchy within the menuconfig entries. The problem occurs when there are drivers usable across architectures. Either their config entry is duplicated in all the supported architectures or is put into the main Kconfig entry. With the later one, we have menuconfig entries for drivers at two levels then. Fix these issues by getting rid of another level of menuconfig hierarchy and populate all drivers within the main cpufreq menu. To clearly distinguish where the drivers start from, also add a comment that will appear in menuconfig.

help
|
|
CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
|
|
CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
|
|
the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
|
|
|
|
Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
|
|
clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
|
|
(see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.
|
|
|
|
For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>.
|

'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
|
|
governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
|
|
its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
|
|
environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
|
|
rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
|
|
|
|
If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
|
|
the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
|
|
PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
|
|
step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
|
|
transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
