[PATCH] cpufreq: Remove KERN_ERR output if nForce2 chipset not found

From: Roland Dreier
Date: Fri Mar 06 2009 - 15:56:16 EST


Distribution kernels are building cpufreq drivers into the kernel to get
faster boot; if the nForce2 driver is built in, then on systems that are
not supported by the driver (ie nearly all current systems), the message

cpufreq: No nForce2 chipset.

is printed at the KERN_ERR level, which means it goes to the console
even if quiet boot is turned on.

The best way to handle this is just to delete the message, since the
likelihood of it ever being of any use to anyone is very low, and other
cpufreq drivers don't print anything if no matching hardware is found.
