I do often pay attention to both where tasks get scheduled, and the
individual CPU freq when I'm profiling CPU side stuff (eg. in
perfetto)

I could also report "always-count" cycles, I think, which could be
used by gputop to derive freq.  I'd have to think about that a bit,
since keeping the result monotinic(ish) might be a bit tricky (the hw
counter loses state across runtime suspend)

Yes, with pm-qos thermal or userspace could limit the max freq.. but
we also internally use a pm-qos constraint to reduce freq when the GPU
is idle, and I don't think there is a good way to differentiate
*which* constraint is which.  I'll add something involving the word
"recommended" ;-)
