  - Fix initialization of min and max frequency QoS requests in the
    cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Fix EPP handling on Alder Lake in intel_pstate (Srinivas Pandruvada).

    capabilities changes and drop a redundant function call from that
    driver (Rafael Wysocki).
 
  - Improve IRQ support in the Qcom cpufreq driver (Ard Biesheuvel,
    Stephen Boyd, Vladimir Zapolskiy).
 
  - Fix double devm_remap() in the Mediatek cpufreq driver (Hector Yuan).
 
  - Introduce thermal pressure helpers for cpufreq CPU cooling (Lukasz

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The most signigicant change here is the addition of a new cpufreq
  'P-state' driver for AMD processors as a better replacement for the
  venerable acpi-cpufreq driver.

  There are also other cpufreq updates (in the core, intel_pstate, ARM
  drivers), PM core updates (mostly related to adding new macros for
  declaring PM operations which should make the lives of driver
  developers somewhat easier), and a bunch of assorted fixes and
  cleanups.

   - Add new P-state driver for AMD processors (Huang Rui).

   - Fix initialization of min and max frequency QoS requests in the
     cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki).

     Pandruvada).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
