X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab68805955ee3dd84a6aa76cd70e61fde996968d;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git [PATCH] x86_64: Don't enable ATI apicmaintimer workaround when the machine has C2 or C3 Many laptops have problems with ticking the local APIC timer in C2/C3. The code added earlier to use it by default on ATI didn't really work for them. Don't enable it when the system supports C2/C3. This doesn't fix the problem fully, but at least it's not worse than before.
