Subject: [PATCH 1/1] drm/amd/pm: smu_v14_0_0: use SoftMin for gfxclk in 
set_soft_freq_limited_range

[Some people who received this message don't often get email from

In smu_v14_0_0_set_soft_freq_limited_range(), the gfxclk floor is programmed 
via SetHardMinGfxClk together with SetSoftMaxGfxClk. Under 
power_dpm_force_performance_level=high this pins HardMin to peak gfxclk.

In PMFW arbitration HardMin has higher priority than SoftMax, so the firmware 
thermal/PPT throttler cannot clamp gfxclk via SoftMax once HardMin is set to 
peak. Replace SetHardMinGfxClk with SetSoftMinGfxclk so the driver still 
requests peak performance but the firmware throttler retains the ability to 
clamp gfxclk under thermal/PPT pressure. SoftMax handling is unchanged and no 
other clock domains are affected.
