Kernel 2.6 PowerBook3,3 patch

Hi,

I have the following patch to add to arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_cpufreq.c under kernel 2.6. it enables the PowerBook3,3 plateform to dynamically change the cpu speed. Without it, my Titanium 2 powerbook 550 MHz have always its fan at full speed and crashes in various ways. The PowerBook3,3 plateform are the titanium powerbooks at 550 and 667 MHz what were introducted at the end of 2001.

I hope this patch will be included in the standard kernel as it is the only blocking problem I was experiencing using a fedora-2/3 ppc distribution.

The patch is against the standard kernel 2.6.8.1 from kernel.org. I know the file has changed under the various bk kernels, but it must also apply (as this plateform PowerBook3,3 is not taken into account in them also).

Regards,
