I don't think we want to force the performance level. This interface
forces various fixed clock configurations for debugging and profiling.
Ah got it.
I think what we'd want to select here is the power profile (see
amdgpu_set_pp_power_profile_mode()). For this interface you can
select various profiles (BOOTUP_DEFAULT, 3D_FULL_SCREEN, POWER_SAVING,
VIDEO, VR, COMPUTE, etc.). These still use dynamic power management,
but they adjust the heuristics used by the GPU to select power states
so the GPU performance ramps up/down more or less aggressively.
Which profile mapping you think make sense?
My guess would be:
“BOOTUP_DEFAULT” for balanced
“POWER_SAVING” for low-power
“3D_FULL_SCREEN” for performance
Since recently we removed that interface for YC, and some earlier APUs
don’t do as much with it.
So I wonder if this is only really valuable to do this callback for !APU.
I feel it's better to leave to platform vendors. For ex: for APU cases
they may have implementations in which their BIOSes talk to PMFW and
this might be driving something else here.
Even if changing the heuristic for workload as Alex suggested?

this might be driving something else here.
Also, not sure how to handle a case like, say a laptop with Intel CPU
and AMD dgpu.
Thanks,
