    powercap: intel_rapl_tpmi: Ignore minor version change · 1d390923
    Zhang Rui authored
    The hardware definition of every TPMI feature contains a major and minor
    version. When there is a change in the MMIO offset or change in the
    definition of a field, hardware will change major version. For addition
    of new fields without modifying existing MMIO offsets or fields, only
    the minor version is changed.
    
    If the driver has not been updated to recognize a new hardware major
    version, it cannot provide the RAPL interface to users due to possible
    register layout incompatibilities. However, the driver does not need to
    be updated every time the hardware minor version changes because in that
    case it will just miss some new functionality exposed by the hardware.
    
    The current implementation causes the driver to refuse to work for any
    hardware version change which is unnecessarily restrictive.
    
    If there is a minor version mismatch, log an information message and
    continue, but if there is a major version mismatch, log a warning and
    exit (as before).
