Rex: For MM, we can disable auto wattman (if enabled), and set video profile mode when enable uvd/vce dpm on smu7. restore to default when disable uvd/vce dpm when engine idle. VR, may be similar to compute case Eric have implemented, need user ctrl through sysfs. </div> </blockquote> In case of compute, we have auto switching mechanism. when compute ring is coming, it switches to the default compute profile or user set profile, and switches back when it's done. So VR should be doing the same thing with compute. Auto wattman will be disabled when profile auto switching happens.

Rex: Idealy, if autowan feature enabled, the proflling mode should be adjusted based on workload with some time delay caused by the work queue. But need some time to verify.

E.g., for VR, we may want to select the VR profile when the user sets the priority to high in the context ioctl, and then switch it back to autowattman or the default profile when the context if freed or the priority is changes. We may want to do something similar for video when the user submits work to the multi-media engines. It's possible autowattman will perform ok and we don't need to manually change the profile in the driver, but we'll have to do some profiling to sort that out. I guess it should just be a matter of disabling autowattman and switching to a profile when the driver needs it and then switching back when it's done.
