    powercap/drivers/dtpm: Scale the power with the load · eb82bace
    Daniel Lezcano authored
    Currently the power consumption is based on the current OPP power
    assuming the entire performance domain is fully loaded.
    
    That gives very gross power estimation and we can do much better by
    using the load to scale the power consumption.
    
    Use the utilization to normalize and scale the power usage over the
    max possible power.
    
    Tested on a rock960 with 2 big CPUS, the power consumption estimation
    conforms with the expected one.
    
    Before this change:
    
    ~$ ~/dhrystone -t 1 -l 10000&
    ~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/dtpm/dtpm:0/dtpm:0:1/constraint_0_max_power_uw
    2260000
    
    After this change:
    
    ~$ ~/dhrystone -t 1 -l 10000&
    ~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/dtpm/dtpm:0/dtpm:0:1/constraint_0_max_power_uw
    1130000
    
    ~$ ~/dhrystone -t 2 -l 10000&
    ~$ cat /sys/devices/virtual/powercap/dtpm/dtpm:0/dtpm:0:1/constraint_0_max_power_uw
    2260000
