Hi all,

The Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA) estimates the needed coefficients for
internal algorithm. It can also estimate the sustainable power value when the
DT has not provided one. Fix the 'k_i' coefficient which might be to big
related to the other values, when the sustainable power is in an abstract
scale. Do the estimation only once and avoid expensive calculation every time
the IPA is called.

The patch set should apply on top of patches adding upper and lower bound for
power actors [1].

Regards,
Lukasz Luba

Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA) is built around the PID controller
concept. The initialization code tries to setup the environment based on
the information available in DT or estimate the value based on minimum
power reported by each of the cooling device. The estimation will have an
impact on the PID controller behaviour via the related 'k_po', 'k_pu',
'k_i' coefficients and also on the power budget calculation.

This change prevents the situation when 'k_i' is relatively big compared
to 'k_po' and 'k_pu' values. This might happen when the estimation for
'sustainable_power' returned small value, thus 'k_po' and 'k_pu' are
small.

The sustainable power value might come from the Device Tree or can be
estimated in run time. There is no need to estimate every time when the
governor is called and temperature is high. Instead, store the estimated
value and make it available via standard sysfs interface so it can be
checked from the user-space. Re-invoke the estimation only in case the
sustainable power was set to 0. Apart from that the PID coefficients
are not going to be force updated thus can better handle sysfs settings.

v3:
- changed estimate_pid_constants to estimate_tzp_constants and related comments
- estimate the PID coefficients always together with sust. power
- added print indicating that we are estimating sust. power and PID const.
- don't use local variable 'sustainable_power'

The changes in this patch are appropriate and make sense but they are
not done at the right place.

estimate_tzp_constants() must be called when sustainable_power is
updated via DT/init or sysfs.

Keeping a function to estimate the sustainable power and another one to
estimate the k_* separated would be more clear.

Actually the confusion is coming from when the pid constants are
computed, I suggest moving the initialization of k_* out of this
function and killing the 'force' test.

Thank you for the review. I will re-write the patch
and address your suggestion.
