[RFC PATCH 11/23] thermal: intel: hfi: Introduce Hardware Feedback Interface classes

From: Ricardo Neri
Date: Fri Sep 09 2022 - 19:07:03 EST


On Intel hybrid parts, each type of CPU has specific performance and
energy efficiency capabilities. The Intel Thread Director technology
extends the Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI) to provide performance and
energy efficiency data for advanced classes of instructions.

Add support to parse and parse per-class capabilities.
