| 2 | bool "CPU Frequency scaling" |
| 3 | help |
| 4 | CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of |
| 5 | CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because |
| 6 | the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU |
| 9 | clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor |
| 10 | (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool. |
| 11 | |
