      [CPUFREQ] Enable ACPI PDC handshake for VIA/Centaur CPUs · d77b8197
      Harald Welte authored
      In commit 0de51088, we introduced the
      use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for
      VENDOR_INTEL.  However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also
      need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to
      activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq.
      
      Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for
      Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's.  The resulting behavior
      of a current mainline kernel on such systems is:  acpi-cpufreq
      loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes.  However, the CPU stays at
      a single frequency
      
      This trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and
      VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.
