Linus Torvalds be31d940b3 Power management fixes for 5.11-rc3
- Make the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver avoid calling cpufreq_cpu_get(),
    which theoretically may return NULL, to get a policy pointer that
    is known to it already (Colin Ian King).
 
  - Drop two functions that are not used any more from the intel_pstate
    driver (Lukas Bulwahn).
 
  - Make intel_pstate check the HWP capabilities to get the maximum
    available P-state in the passive mode to avoid using a stale value
    of it in case of out-of-band updates (Rafael Wysocki).

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These address two issues in the intel_pstate driver and one in the
  powernow-k8 cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - Make the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver avoid calling
     cpufreq_cpu_get(), which theoretically may return NULL, to get a
     policy pointer that is known to it already (Colin Ian King)

   - Drop two functions that are not used any more from the intel_pstate
     driver (Lukas Bulwahn)

   - Make intel_pstate check the HWP capabilities to get the maximum
     available P-state in the passive mode to avoid using a stale value
     of it in case of out-of-band updates (Rafael Wysocki)"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
