[PATCH 2/2] amd_pstate: Add ->fast_switch() callback

From: Wyes Karny
Date: Mon Apr 10 2023 - 05:55:04 EST


From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <gautham.shenoy@xxxxxxx>

Schedutil normally calls the adjust_perf callback for drivers with
adjust_perf callback available and fast_switch_possible flag set.
However, when frequency invariance is disabled and schedutil tries to
invoke fast_switch, and that callback is NULL, it schedules a kthread to
invoke the target() callback, which could slow down the frequency
update.

Prevent the frequency update slow down by implementing the fast_switch
callback for amd_pstate.
