Besides there a patch that is adding an hwmon interface to i915 that depends on this one. > Likewise we need a link to the real userspace consumer that is expecting > to use this (does some of the Level0 stuff use these knobs?).

I think with the first multitile platform coming (next series) this will be essential to control the power of multitile devices, either manually or with tools, otherwise we will be able only to access tile 0. I can add a note in the commit message. Andi
