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.
