Srinivas Pandruvada 21cdb6c18f cpufreq: intel_pstate: Allow EPP 0x80 setting by the firmware
With the
"commit 3d13058ed2 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use firmware default EPP")"
the firmware can set an EPP, which driver will not overwrite. But the
driver has a valid range check for:
0x40 > firmware epp < 0x80.
Hence firmware can't specify EPP of 0x80.

If the firmware didn't specify in the valid range, the driver has a
hard coded EPP of 102. But some Chrome hardware vendors don't want
this overwrite and wants to boot with chipset default EPP of 0x80 as
this improves battery life.

In this case they want to have capability to specify EPP of 0x80 via
the firmware. This require the valid range to include 0x80 also.
But here the valid range can't be simply extended to include 0x80 as
this is the chipset default EPP. Even without any firmware specifying
EPP, the chipset will always boot with EPP of 0x80.

To make sure that firmware specified EPP of 0x80 and not by the
chipset default, it will require additional check to make sure HWP
was enabled by the firmware before boot. Only way the firmware can
update EPP, is to enable HWP and update EPP via MSR_HWP_REQUEST.

This driver already checks, if the HWP is enabled by the firmware.
Use the same flag and extend valid range to include 0x80.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
