Rex: I also agree that clock should be part of the profile.

My point is driver supply independent knobs to user. (pp_dpm_sclk/mclk force_dpm_level for select clock range.)

And I just want to supply a new sysfs that user can configure dpm parameters(smu7: uphyst/downhyst/min_activity vega10: RLC,ent_point.etc).

And as the parameters maybe not easy to understand for users, we supply some modes(VR, COMPUTE ) as example.

So the problem maybe we should not name new sysfs as "power_profile_mode ". 

It is easy to add min sclk/mclk in the new sysfs, I just think it repeated with other sysfs.

Best Regards
Rex

I agree with that.  The clocks should be part of the profile, at least as far as the automatic profile selection in the driver is concerned.
The whole point of it is so that the driver can select a profile dynamically for a specific use case without requiring manual interaction from the user.  For manually selecting profiles I can see Rex's point (you may want independent knobs for testing different parameters), but I think we should be consistent in the interface otherwise it's confusing to users.
