Frequency scaling error on AMD Turion [hwpstate]

[George Liaskos]

Hello list!

I am trying remotely to help a friend set up his laptop with 8.0-STABLE amd64,
installation went pretty smooth but i have a problem with power saving.

When i start powerd i get the following error repeatedly:

kernel: hwpstate0: set freq failed, err 6
