Subject: intel_pstate: Use LFM bus ratio as min ratio/P state
From: Dirk Brandewie <[email protected]>
commit 4042e7570cff740460b75c6fc604c629621d3dd2 upstream.
LFM (max efficiency ratio) is the max frequency at minimum voltage
supported by the processor. Using LFM as the minimum P state
increases performmance without affecting power. By not using P states
below LFM we avoid using P states that are less power efficient.
