I went back to my VLVs (had a B3 and C0 actually). And I'm seeing the
exact same behaviour on both, ie. requesting a new frequency from Punit
does nothing when the GPU is in rc6, and if I let it enter rc6 with a
high frequency Vnn also remains high. Previously I had thought that C0
fixed this, but now it definitely shows the same problem here. I must
have had some accidental forcewake somewhere when I originally tested
it,

So based on that, your other patch to remove the stepping check from
vlv_set_rps_idle() is in fact correct.

The question remains however what should we do with CHV. According to my
testing to get the minimum voltage we should keep RPn around, and we
should also do the vlv_set_rps_idle() workaround on CHV.

Oh and I also observed something else on VLV. Normally when entering rc6
the GPLL ref clock gets trunk gated at CCK (by Punit I assume). However
when using the vlv_gfx_clock_force() that doesn't happen. So I'm not
entirely sure the GPLL gets turned off properly in that case. Maybe we
should just use forcewake instead? Oh and BTW, CHV doesn't do the trunk
gating in either case. I'm not sure where to check if the GPLL is
actually running or not.
