Subject: [PATCH v3 6/6] cpufreq: amd-pstate: Default to replace acpi-cpufreq
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 11:48:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220414164801.1051-7-mario.limonciello@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220414164801.1051-1-mario.limonciello@amd.com>

As a side effect of using the symbol `acpi_cpufreq_exit` attempting
to `modprobe amd-pstate` loads the acpi-cpufreq driver if it's compiled
as a module.

This means that module load order can't work anymore from those changes.
To make this a more obvious default behavior set the "replace" module
parameter for amd-pstate to true.

Expected outcome is that no matter what configuration for module or
compiled in, amd-pstate will take precedence.

If a user prefers to use acpi_cpufreq, they can set `amd_pstate.replace=0`
and then the following outcomes will happen when attempting to load
amd-pstate:
* acpi_cpufreq module  & amd_pstate module  -> acpi_cpufreq
* acpi_cpufreq builtin & amd_pstate module  -> acpi_cpufreq
* acpi_cpufreq builtin & amd_pstate builtin -> amd_pstate
* acpi_cpufreq module  & amd_pstate builtin -> amd_pstate

v2->v3:
 * New patch, added since worse experience from patch 4.
