There were previously two differences for server and non-server: * amd-pstate not enabled by default * amd-pstate cpufreq policy starting in performance mode vs power-save? This series adjusts the first for at least the newer parts, but I would like to ask does it make sense to also evaluating changing the default policy to powersave as a follow up, or should this policy delta remain?

We would like to retain the policy delta for now and retain CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE as the default on servers. -- Thanks and Regards gautham.
