[PATCH v2] drm/i915/slpc: Optmize waitboost for SLPC

Wed Oct 19 23:05:47 UTC 2022


Waitboost (when SLPC is enabled) results in a H2G message. This can result
in thousands of messages during a stress test and fill up an already full
CTB. There is no need to request for RP0 if GuC is already requesting the
same.

v2: Add the tracing back, and check requested freq
in the worker thread (Tvrtko)
