Host Turbo operates at efficient frequency when GT is not idle unless
the user or workload has forced it to a higher level. Replicate the same
behavior in SLPC by allowing the algorithm to use efficient frequency.
We had disabled it during boot due to concerns that it might break
kernel ABI for min frequency. However, this is not the case since
SLPC will still abide by the (min,max) range limits.

With this change, min freq will be at efficient frequency level at init
instead of fused min (RPn). If user chooses to reduce min freq below the
efficient freq, we will turn off usage of efficient frequency and honor
the user request. When a higher value is written, it will get toggled
back again.

The patch also corrects the register which needs to be read for obtaining
the correct efficient frequency for Gen9+.

We see much better perf numbers with benchmarks like glmark2 with
efficient frequency usage enabled as expected.

First of all sorry for looking to the old patch first... I was delayed in my inbox flow.

This register is only gen10+ while the func is gen6+.
either we handle the platform properly or we create a new rpe_freq tracker somewhere
and if that's available we use this rpe, otherwise we use the hw fused rp1 which is a good
enough, but it is not the actual one resolved by pcode, like this new RPe one.
sure.

I know this code was already there, but I do have some questions around this
and maybe we can simplify now that are touching this function.

why do we need to touch this min request here?
true, not needed anymore.

+	} else {

do we really need the unset param?

for me using set_param(SLPC_PARAM_IGNORE_EFFICIENT_FREQUENCY, freq < rpe_freq)
was enough...

Yup, removed this helper function as discussed.

Thanks,

Vinay.
