Its also a workaround for 2875 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the 2876 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The 2877 other workaround is idle=poll boot option. 2878 2879config OLPC 2880 bool "One Laptop Per Child support" 2881 depends on !X86_PAE 2882 select GPIOLIB 2883 select OF 2884 select OF_PROMTREE 2885 select IRQ_DOMAIN 2886 select OLPC_EC 2887 help 2888 Add support for detecting the unique features of the OLPC 2889 XO hardware. 2890 2891config OLPC_XO1_PM 2892 bool "OLPC XO-1 Power Management" 2893 depends on OLPC && MFD_CS5535=y && PM_SLEEP 2894 help 2895 Add support for poweroff and suspend of the OLPC XO-1 laptop. 2896 2897config OLPC_XO1_RTC 2898 bool "OLPC XO-1 Real Time Clock" 2899 depends on OLPC_XO1_PM && RTC_DRV_CMOS 2900 help 2901 Add support for the XO-1 real time clock, which can be used as a 2902 programmable wakeup source. 2903 2904config OLPC_XO1_SCI 2905 bool "OLPC XO-1 SCI extras" 2906 depends on OLPC && OLPC_XO1_PM && GPIO_CS5535=y 2907 depends on INPUT=y 2908 select POWER_SUPPLY 2909 help 2910 Add support for SCI-based features of the OLPC XO-1 laptop: 2911 - EC-driven system wakeups 2912 - Power button 2913 - Ebook switch 2914 - Lid switch 2915 - AC adapter status updates 2916 - Battery status updates 2917 2918config OLPC_XO15_SCI 2919 bool "OLPC XO-1.5 SCI extras" 2920 depends on OLPC && ACPI 2921 select POWER_SUPPLY 2922 help 2923 Add support for SCI-based features of the OLPC XO-1.5 laptop: 2924 - EC-driven system wakeups 2925 - AC adapter status updates 2926 - Battery status updates 2927 2928config ALIX 2929 bool "PCEngines ALIX System Support (LED setup)" 2930 select GPIOLIB 2931 help 2932 This option enables system support for the PCEngines ALIX. 2933 At present this just sets up LEDs for GPIO control on 2934 ALIX2/3/6 boards.
