Subject[PATCH 04/11] Documentation: PM: amd-pstate: introducing recommended reboot requirement during driver switch
Date
It is highly recommended to reboot the system when switching between the 'amd-pstate'
and 'acpi-cpufreq' drivers to avoid potential unexpected issues.
Rebooting will ensure that the system properly applies the changes and allows for a
seamless transition between the drivers.
