[PATCH 1/3] drm/msm/a6xx: Add HFI support for CLX feature

From: Akhil P Oommen

Date: Fri May 15 2026 - 16:08:46 EST


Add support for Current Limit Extension (CLX) feature found on a few A8x
GPUs. This feature is required to limit the peak current consumption to
avoid HW spec violation on GX/MX rails.

Add the necessary HFI interface support to pass the recommended CLX and
IFF/PCLX limits tables to the GMU. Per-GPU configuration is consumed
from the catalog entries.
