[ Upstream commit 1548fac47a114b42063def551eb152a536ed9697 ] This patch partially reverts the changes made by the following commit: da0e58c038e6 intel_idle: add 'preferred_cstates' module argument As that commit describes, on early Sapphire Rapids Xeon platforms the C1 and C1E states were mutually exclusive, so that users could only have either C1 and C6, or C1E and C6. However, Intel firmware engineers managed to remove this limitation and make C1 and C1E to be completely independent, just like on previous Xeon platforms. Therefore, this patch: * Removes commentary describing the old, and now non-existing SPR C1E limitation. * Marks SPR C1E as available by default. * Removes the 'preferred_cstates' parameter handling for SPR. Both C1 and C1E will be available regardless of 'preferred_cstates' value. We expect that all SPR systems are shipping with new firmware, which includes the C1/C1E improvement.

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.
