[Intel-gfx] [PATCHv2.99 09/11] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Enable VLP controller based on ACPI FADT profile and CPUID.

Francisco Jerez currojerez at riseup.net
Tue Apr 28 03:22:56 UTC 2020


For the moment the VLP controller is only enabled on ICL platforms
other than server FADT profiles in order to reduce the validation
effort of the initial submission.  It should work on any other
processors that support HWP though (and soon enough on non-HWP too):
In order to override the default behavior (e.g. to test on other
platforms) the VLP controller can be forcefully enabled or disabled by
selecting the "adaptive" or "powersave" CPUFREQ governors respectively
via sysfs.

v2: Handle HWP VLP controller.
v3: Define generic CPUFREQ policy to control VLP governor (Rafael).
