    drm/i915: load a ring frequency scaling table v3 · 23b2f8bb

    The ring frequency scaling table tells the PCU to treat certain GPU
    frequencies as if they were a given CPU frequency for purposes of
    scaling the ring frequency.  Normally the PCU will scale the ring
    frequency based on the CPU P-state, but with the table present, it will
    also take the GPU frequency into account.
    
    The main downside of keeping the ring frequency high while the CPU is
    at a low frequency (or asleep altogether) is increased power
    consumption.  But then if you're keeping your GPU busy, you probably
    want the extra performance.
    
    v2:
      - add units to debug table header (from Eric)
      - use tsc_khz as a fallback if the cpufreq driver doesn't give us a freq
        (from Chris)
    v3:
      - fix comments & debug output
      - remove unneeded force wake get/put
