[PATCH] tools/power turbostat: Fix Bzy_MHz calculation equation

[Peng Liu]

From: Peng Liu <liupeng17@lenovo.com>

To calculate Bzy_MHz, TSC_delta should multiply APERF_delta instead
of dividing it.

Hi Peng and Wyes,

Just for your information about your recent "ping"s about your turbostat patches:

Please be aware that there is rarely any reply. There tends to be about 2 turbostat updates released per year. Your patches are in patchworks [1], as are some others, including an old one of mine from 2023.04.03
Eventually there will be an update, and hopefully it will include all our patches.

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your information. I wonder whether a submitter will be notified if his/her patch is not accepted. Can I assume that my patch is accepted if no reply is received?

Regards,
Peng

[Len Brown]

Peng Liu,
Thanks for the close read of the documentation, and the patch.
I've applied it, though I re-wrote the commit message (below) to make
it clear it is a documentation fix, as the code was already correct.

thanks,
-Len

ps. I would have replied to your original e-mail, but there was a
period where gmail dropped mail due to space limitations.
No worries, as Doug said, everything is in patchwork.


    tools/power turbostat: Fix Bzy_MHz documentation typo

    The code calculates Bzy_MHz by multiplying TSC_delta *
APERF_delta/MPERF_delta
    The man page erroneously showed that TSC_delta was divided.
