To control frequency transition rate in schedutil, you might
be interested in setting:

policy->cpuinfo.transition_latency = <mtk_value_here>;

Example, when this latency value comes from FW [1]

OK, I will add it in v9.

+

+ TIMEOUT_USEC)) {
+ if (!(sig & CPUFREQ_HW_STATUS)) {
+ pr_info("cpufreq hardware of CPU%d is not enabled\n",
+ policy->cpu);
+ return -ENODEV;
+ }
+
+ pr_info("SVS of CPU%d is not enabled\n", policy->cpu);
+ }
+
+ em_dev_register_perf_domain(cpu_dev, c->nr_opp, &em_cb, policy->cpus);

Please keep in mind that this is going to be changed soon with a new
argument: 'milliwatts'. It's queued in pm/linux-next [2].

OK, thanks for the remind.

Also, based on function mtk_cpufreq_hw_target_index(), which looks
really simple, you might consider to have fast_switch enabled.

It will allow SchedUtil governor to change frequency directly
and not create a dedicated deadline thread for it. It pays off.

You have to experiment with something like:

policy->fast_switch_possible = true;


static struct cpufreq_driver cpufreq_mtk_hw_driver = {
...
.fast_switch = mtk_cpufreq_hw_fast_switch
...
}

Again, scmi-cpufreq.c would be a good pattern to follow.
