Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 6.5.10-1~bpo12+1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: nathan.m...@gmail.com

Hi,

AMD has introduced a feature called Power Management Framework.
See here for more info: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-PMF-Linux-Driver

It seems that this module is not included in the Debian Linux Kernel.
I have found '# CONFIG_AMD_PMF is not set' for the following versions :
- linux-image-6.1.0-11-amd64_6.1.38-4
- linux-image-6.5.0-0.deb12.4-amd64_6.5.10-1~bpo12+1
- linux-image-6.6.13-amd64_6.6.13-1

Enabling this would offer better battery life for AMD Laptops (like my
Framework 13).

A bit of context:
The power-profiles-daemon software gained recently support for amd-pstate
driver, and also gained support to handle simultaneously cpu driver
(amd-pstate) and platform driver (amd-pmf).
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon/-/merge_requests/127).
It seems that the power-profiles-daemon in unstable do not include the
commit that allows to handle both drivers at the same time.
So I've installed the power-profile-daemons for jammy from this Ubuntu PPA 
(https://launchpad.net/~superm1/+archive/ubuntu/ppd/+packages).
And when I list the existing power-profiles I get the following:

user@machine:> sudo powerprofilesctl
  performance:
    CpuDriver:  amd_pstate
    Degraded:   no

* balanced:
    CpuDriver:  amd_pstate
    PlatformDriver:     placeholder

  power-saver:
    CpuDriver:  amd_pstate
    PlatformDriver:     placeholder

This (PlatformDriver: placeholder) indicates that the AMD_PMF module is not 
included in the kernel.


Would be possible to compile it as a module in the kernel ?
There may be technical limitations that I am not aware of.

Thank your for your time,
Best regards,

Nate
