Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq (7/7): update documentation
Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2003 11:09:28 +0100
The sysfs directory where the cpufreq-related files are stored changed due
to the new device interface code, so the documentation needs to be updated
accordingly. Also, add some information about the reference counting and the
exporting of sysfs files by the drivers.
Please apply,
Dominik
