Relax the devfreq tunings when IFPC feature is supported because there
is no wakeup latency that we have to hide with aggressive dcvs. This
helps to eliminate the very frequent gpu frequency spikes to FMAX even
with common lightweight workloads like UI scrolling. Some profiling
data from X1E which shows the improvement:
DUT: X1E CRD, 1.25Ghz GPU FMAX, 2880x1800@120Hz, Debian Trixie Gnome
Testcase: WebGL aquarium with Chromium
Current dcvs config:
+--------+--------------+------------+------+
| Fishes | GPU Load (%) | Freq (Mhz) | FPS |
+--------+--------------+------------+------+
| 1 | 23 | 300 | 120 |
| 100 | 29 | 300 | 120 |
| 500 | 41 | 300 | 120 |
| 1000 | 45 | 390/550 | 120 |
| 5000 | 50 | 1250 | 120 |
| 10000 | 93 | 1250 | 120 |
| 15000 | 100 | 1250 | 87 |
