All things aside, the entire idea of switching power profile for every
job submission on a ring looks like an 'abuse' of the power profile
design. The goal of power profile is to keep a specific profile for a
sustained workload - like gaming mode, cinema mode etc. It's not meant
for like switch profile with every job submission which lasts ms or
lesser (though you may argue it takes only highest priority profile).
This design is to keep interrupting FW every now and then thinking
driver is doing better. For any normal/mixed use scenarios, FW
algorithms could handle it better with all the activity monitors they have.
If you are going ahead, please also make sure to post the improved
performance numbers you are getting with this.
