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).

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 reStructuredText 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.
