commit d4f3388afd488ed15368fa7413b8bd6d1f98bb1d upstream. Add support to specify platform specific transition_delay_us instead of using the transition delay derived from PCC. With commit 3d41386d556d (cpufreq: CPPC: Use transition_delay_us depending transition_latency) we are setting transition_delay_us directly and not applying the LATENCY_MULTIPLIER. Because of that, on Qualcomm Centriq we can end up with a very high rate of frequency change requests when using the schedutil governor (default rate_limit_us=10 compared to an earlier value of 10000). The PCC subspace describes the rate at which the platform can accept commands on the CPPC's PCC channel. This includes read and write command on the PCC channel that can be used for reasons other than frequency transitions. Moreover the same PCC subspace can be used by multiple freq domains and deriving transition_delay_us from it as we do now can be sub-optimal. Moreover if a platform does not use PCC for desired_perf register then there is no way to compute the transition latency or the delay_us. CPPC does not have a standard defined mechanism to get the transition rate or the latency at the moment. Given the above limitations, it is simpler to have a platform specific transition_delay_us and rely on PCC derived value only if a platform specific value is not available.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
