Subject: [PATCH 07/10] arm64: dts: qcom: sm8550: Update EAS properties

From: Xilin Wu <[email protected]>

The original values provided by Qualcomm appear to be quite
inaccurate. Specifically, some heavy gaming tasks could be
improperly assigned to the A510 cores by the scheduler, resulting
in a CPU bottleneck. This update to the EAS properties aims to
enhance the user experience across various scenarios.

The power numbers were obtained using a Type-C power meter, which
was directly connected to the battery connector on the AYN Odin 2
motherboard, acting as a fake battery.

It should be noted that the A715 cores seem less efficient than the
A710 cores. Therefore, an average value has been assigned to them,
considering that the A715 and A710 cores share a single cpufreq
domain.

This looks pretty convincing and like good work.

A few questions and suggestions for your commit log.

I'd really love to know more about how you ran this test. What values
exactly does your power meter give you?

How did you lock the core to a specific CPU frequency ?

Maybe also give the equation to calculate Pdyn in the commit log.

The power meter accepts a fixed 4 volts input, and outputs to the
battery connector on the board. It is also connected to a computer for
data recording, including voltage and current.

The CPU frequency pinning and Pdyn calculation is done by a script on
the list: [1]. I just removed the power measuring part since it was done
on the computer with the meter.

I will improve the commit log in v2.
