[PATCH 4.9 096/104] tools/power turbostat: bugfix: GFXMHz column not changing

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 22048c5485503749754b3b5daf9d99ef89fcacdc ]

turbostat displays a GFXMHz column, which comes from reading
/sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/drm/card0/gt_cur_freq_mhz

But GFXMHz was not changing, even when a manual
cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/drm/card0/gt_cur_freq_mhz
showed a new value.

It turns out that a rewind() on the open file is not sufficient,
fflush() (or a close/open) is needed to read fresh values.
