Got it, Evans.
Since HAINAN is very different, need some further confirmation.
Thanks.

Hi Kenneth,

I understand that changing voltage 'standalone' is not a good idea. In that case, would it be possible to change the voltage table so that it would give a lower clock on certain voltage?

For example, I would like to change

sclk 900, vddc: 1050

to

sclk 800, vddc: 1050

Thanks

Hi Evans
I'm sorry but I don't suggest you manually control the standalone voltage because it's predefined with the clock value.
A decrease of voltage could hit the hardware critical path. You may need to change the clock and voltage together, we call it dpm level change.
Thanks.

Hi Evans,

in general the voltage tables are stored in the atombios and the best advice I can give you is to first double check if there isn't an updated BIOS for your hardware.

But Alex is the expert on power management, especially for those older hardware generations. Maybe he has another idea what to try.

Regards,
Christian.

[Quan, Evan] I created a patch for this. But during the verification, I got the errors below

After checking the related source code roughly. It seems the underlaying implementation of -> set_powergating_state(e.g.  uvd_v6_0_set_powergating_state ) performs more jobs than just power gating. And I guess maybe some of those jobs needs to be performed after -> set_clockgating_state. James and Leo may comment more.
