Does the HW require us to drop to RPn before entering RC6?
If we can enter RC6 even with other frequencies I think we can keep
running at Rpe on Idle.
Remember that we quite frequently prevent the hardware going into RC6,
I assume this is threshold times in TO/EI mode for which GT is idle but
not power gated.
and that it has been known for the hardware to fail to enter RC6 itself
(through driver error or whatnot).
And assume this is because of forcewake/rc6 setup errors in driver paths
which should not happen in best case :)
Agree that running at Rpn makes sense.
Going to the extreme, why wouldn't
you set Rp0 on idle, since that will give the best restart latency?
True. We can have different logic that starts from Rp0 and comes down if
perf is met.

Thanks for the inputs Chris.
