Re: [PATCH 0/4] Energy Model power in micro-Watts and SCMI v3.1 alignment

Hi guys,

Are there any objections to these patches?

Hi all,

This is a patch set which changes Energy Model power values scale to
micro-Watts. It also upgrades the SCMI performance layer + scmi-cpufreq
driver to leverage the SCMI v3.1 spec and process micro-Watts power values
coming from FW. The higher precision in EM power field solves an issue
of a rounding error, which then can be misinterpreted as 'inefficient OPP'.
An example rounding issue calculation is present in patch 1/4 description.

I would like to move forward with the micro-Watts in
the Energy Model. We have feedback from our partners
that this is a limitation. Also, as you can see
this uW is part of the new SCMI spec, which we
have support on our roadmap.

Regards,
Lukasz
