Hi Chris,

With below commit, idle frequency is made RPn (HW Min).
Why are we not keeping it at RPe (Efficient Frequency)?
My understanding was to set Rpe on idle so that when GPU is out of RC6 
it can start operating at efficient frequency.

     drm/i915: Relax RPS contraints to allows setting minfreq on idle


Thanks
