Re: [PATCH v2] drm/lima: add governor data with pre-defined thresholds

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch gets minor improvement on glmark2 (160->162).

Seems there's no way for user to change this value, do we?
Or there's work pending to expose it to sysfs?

Regards,
Qiang
