It does state: " SCMI FastChannels can be represented as ACPI System Memory and used in the Continuous Performance Control (CPC) object when using ACPI Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC)." It doesn't cover the fact that CPPC is compatible only with SCMI fastchannels without doorbells. Just a plain MMIO register to set the perf. The normal PCC mailbox works fine if the CPPC Desired Perf Register is a PCC address space based GAS. However the command is not 1:1 compatible with SCMI perf. This is one of the reason why the protocols 0x0-0xF was reserved in SCMI to be compatible with the ACPI CPPC way of using PCC for perf. Hope this helps and I didn't make it more complicated for you. -- Regards, Sudeep
