[PATCH 2/2] ACPI: CPPC: Add ospm_nominal_perf support
From: Sumit Gupta
Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 01:22:04 EST
Add acpi_cppc/ospm_nominal_perf sysfs attribute (write-only) and
cppc_set_ospm_nominal_perf() API for the OSPM Nominal Performance
register (ACPI 6.6, Section 8.4.6.1.2.6).
The register conveys the desired nominal performance level at which
the platform may run. OSPM can request a lower level than platform
nominal. Valid range is [Lowest Performance, Nominal Performance].
The value tells the platform what OSPM considers nominal. The
platform classifies performance above this as boosted and below as
throttled. It uses that for its power/thermal decisions.
Initialize to platform nominal at policy init. Override via sysfs
if needed.
