[PATCH] Kconfig powernow-k8 driver should depend on ACPI P-States driver
- From: Joshua Hoblitt <jhoblitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hello,
Below is a one line patch to possibly fix this bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178585
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8075
If the kernel is configured with:
CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=y
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m
Which is currently an allowed configuration, the powernow-k8 driver on
an SMP system will fail with a warning like:
powernow-k8: Found 4 Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 285 processors (version 2.00.00)
powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure
powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure
powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure
powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure
Which mimics that failure you get when powernow/cool'n'quiet is disabled
in the BIOS. I don't know if this config combination is valid on a
uniprocessor system so this dependency may need to be enforced only if
SMP in enabled. The other powernow-* drivers likely have the same
requirements as -k8 but I am unable to test them.

This adds the CPUFreq driver for mobile AMD Opteron/Athlon64 processors.
