I appreciate the proposal, but giving users this control seems similar
to using tools like Ryzenadj or Ryzen Master, which are primarily for
overclocking. Atleast Ryzen Master has a dedicated mailbox with PMFW.

While some existing PMF mailboxes are being deprecated, and SPL has
been removed starting with Strix[1] due to the APTS method.

It's important to use some settings together rather than individually
(which the users might not be aware of). For instance, updating SPL
requires corresponding updates to STT limits to avoid negative outcomes.

Additionally, altering these parameters can exceed thermal limits and
potentially void warranties.

Considering CnQF, why not let OEMs opt-in and allow the algorithm to
manage power budgets, rather than providing these controls to users
from the kernel when userspace tools already exist?

Please note that on systems with Smart PC enabled, if users manually
adjust the system thermals, it can lead to the thermal controls
becoming unmanageable.

Please consider this perspective.

IMHO, having a 'custom' platform-profile node is fine, but tieing that
to PMF static slider would be a NO from my side, because of the above
said reasons.

Thanks,
Shyam
