Subject: drm/i915/icl: Refine PG_HYSTERESIS
Git-commit: 028a7a989cb57790868df20e50dff682e73e33e6
Patch-mainline: v5.6-rc1
References: jsc#SLE-12680, jsc#SLE-12880, jsc#SLE-12882, jsc#SLE-12883, jsc#SLE-13496, jsc#SLE-15322
After doing some measuring, Icelake behaves on a par with Broadwell, and
without having to compromise for low power cores with long latencies, we
can reduce the powergating hysteresis so that the powersaving is enabled
faster. No impact observed on client side throughput measures (so
negligible increase in extra switching), and inspection from high
frequency polling using igt/gem_exec_nop/sequential, provided an estimate
for the upper bound before we can measure a substantial impact on
latency.
