71da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
81da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
91da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
101da177e4SLinus Torvalds
111da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
121da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
131da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.

3217258267eSViresh Kumar	  This adds the cpufreq driver for SuperH. Any CPU that supports
3227258267eSViresh Kumar	  clock rate rounding through the clock framework can use this
3237258267eSViresh Kumar	  driver. While it will make the kernel slightly larger, this is
3247258267eSViresh Kumar	  harmless for CPUs that don't support rate rounding. The driver
3257258267eSViresh Kumar	  will also generate a notice in the boot log before disabling
3267258267eSViresh Kumar	  itself if the CPU in question is not capable of rate rounding.

3287258267eSViresh Kumar	  For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>.
