From 76c339e73e3588151196b2fb3a754f8e604476a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kszaq Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 21:33:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gpu-aml: Do not use Mali Utilization This settings turns off any scaling for Mali cores/frequency. The effect of this is smooth Kodi GUI operation without a need to set turbo mode in driver parameter or device tree. Users reported smoother GUI with UTILIZATION = 0 and Mali operating at 500MHz than with UTILIZATION = 1 and Mali at 666MHz. --- .../gpu-aml-0001-dont-use-mali-utilization.patch | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) create mode 100644 packages/linux-drivers/gpu-aml/patches/gpu-aml-0001-dont-use-mali-utilization.patch diff --git a/packages/linux-drivers/gpu-aml/patches/gpu-aml-0001-dont-use-mali-utilization.patch b/packages/linux-drivers/gpu-aml/patches/gpu-aml-0001-dont-use-mali-utilization.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..2ae609f358 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/linux-drivers/gpu-aml/patches/gpu-aml-0001-dont-use-mali-utilization.patch @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +diff --git a/mali/Kbuild.orig b/mali/Kbuild +index 7cc2225..4813c2f 100755 +--- a/mali/Kbuild.orig ++++ b/mali/Kbuild +@@ -56,7 +56,7 @@ ifeq ($(CONFIG_MALI_DVFS),y) + USING_GPU_UTILIZATION=0 + USING_DVFS=1 + else +- USING_GPU_UTILIZATION=1 ++ USING_GPU_UTILIZATION=0 + USING_DVFS=0 + endif + PROFILING_SKIP_PP_JOBS ?= 0
