I think using the mix of values (basically s/_delay/_freq) doesn't fully relize what I was hoping to achieve. I don't think there is ever a case, except when debugging where it's easier to refer to the RP mnemonic. How strongly do you feel about this one? I'd really prefer to just fix RPe/RPn. Does anyone else have an opinion on: "max_freq_hardlimit" vs. "rp0" Does anyone else want to review this one? > -- > Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre > _______________________________________________ > Intel-gfx mailing list > Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx -- Ben Widawsky, Intel Open Source Technology Center
