Hi,

I also just stumbled upon this patch series as I was wondering about the lack of specific support for RaptorLake in intel_idle. The AlderLake specific part of the intel_idle.c code mentions that "On AlderLake C1 has to be disabled if C1E is enabled, and vice versa …. By default we enable C1E and disable C1 by marking it with...”.   Without a patch on RaptorLake (which I assume works the same way) this cannot be controlled with the preferred_cstates kernel parameter. Also on my NUC 13 Pro i5-1340P the latency for C10 looks suspiciously large compared to the AlderLake cstates table.

Thanks,
