Subject: [PATCH 0/3] thermal/netlink/intel_hfi: Enable HFI feature only when required
The patchset introduces a netlink notification, which together with
netlink_has_listners() check, allow drivers to send netlink multicast
events based on the presence of actual user-space consumers.
This functionality optimizes resource usage by allowing disabling
of features when not needed.
Then implement the notification mechanism in the intel_hif driver,
it is utilized to disable the Hardware Feedback Interface (HFI)
dynamically. By implementing a netlink notify callback, the driver
can now enable or disable the HFI based on actual demand, particularly
when user-space applications like intel-speed-select or Intel Low Power
daemon utilize events related to performance and energy efficiency
capabilities.
On machines where Intel HFI is present, but there are no user-space
components installed, we can save tons of CPU cycles.
