We have tools that previously developed to measure energy status
on Intel via the powercap interface. Powercap is the only interface
allowing reading RAPL energy counters without requiring MSR access
privileges. We want to use these tools on AMD with minimal modifications.
I believe the powercap interface should support these counters,
regardless of the use cases, mainly for two reasons:
1. Powercap interface already supports monitoring-only power domains,
e.g. power limit is locked by BIOS or the (Intel) CPU does not expose an
MSR for certain power domains. The latter is the exact situation on AMD;
2. As AMD has partially introduced the equivalent of Intel's RAPL, we
should leverage this opportunity to reduce the divergence in the APIs. i.e.
OS as a hardware abstraction layer should allow users to use the same
set of APIs to access RAPL features if it issupported on both Intel and AMD.
In this specific case, if users can query for Intel's RAPL counters via
powercap, they should be able to do so as well for AMD's.

Yes, they were introduced early this year. However, it is not the same as
the counters exposed via powercap interface: powercap exposes the
actual value of the energy counters while hwmon adds an accumulation
layer on top.
In addition, I don't think Intel's RAPL counters are exposed via hwmon;
therefore: 1. existing fine grade power monitoring tools are not based on
hwmon; 2. new tools cannot query the same set of counters via the same
API so that they have to actively maintain two sets of logic.
