Hi,
I'll add some noise to this. I have a PowerMac8600 (with a 750GX in it
(in case that makes a difference)) and I can't boot 2.6.36 if it is
compiled with a gcc version newer than 4.1.2. Both 4.2.4 and 4.3.5
will hang. 4.1.2 seems ok.

Thanks for posting this driver and for your attention for detail
and for documentation in particular. Few people bother to write
documentation at this level.

An error in the split-man.pl PERL snippet in kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt is
also fixed.

There is also a sysfs attribute to have it switch off the unused PLL for
additional power savings.
This does NOT support SMP.

This patch set adds a cpufreq driver for the IBM PowerPC 750GX processor. It
"should" also work for the 750FX. The patches are:
1) Add low level PLL config register interface module
2) Add cpufreq driver for the 750GX
3) Other PowerPC kernel changes necessary to support th
Hi,
When I tried building my cpufreq driver into the kernel, the
cpufreq stats driver quit working? Anyone know if I screwed something up?
Or is this normal (2.6.26)?
Also, I thought, apparently incorrectly, That module parameters
became boot parameters when the module was built
Hi,
Can I ignore these checkpatch errors:

Hi,
I am trying to do some compile testing of my cpufreq driver. If
I disable modules I am getting multiple definition errors of inline
functions:
inline volatile unsigned int get_PLL(void)

unsigned int ret;
__asm__ __volatile__ ("mfspr %0,%1":
"=r"(ret):
Could I get any needed corrections on this. Especially on the "???"

Hi,
Something in a function signature called "__attribute_used__" would
compile in 2.6.24. This does not compile in 2.6.26. Using the

this appears to have changed to "__used". Anything work in both?
