The driver replaces out-of-tree solutions like acpi_call and ryzenadj with a proper in-kernel implementation exposing parameters via the firmware-attributes sysfs ABI, enforcing per-device safety limits, and supporting atomic commits with suspend/resume persistence. However, the patch review revealed the driver was partially written with AI assistance without disclosure, leading to issues like hallucinated tool names and code quality concerns. A rewrite is expected before it can progress beyond RFC status. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
