Public bug reported:

hello, I have a laptop with a nvidia 330M graphics card (no igpu intel 
integrated)
since ubuntu 18.04, I noted that the frequencies used was not the lowest, which 
resulted in heating my laptop a little more.

an example, here are my frequencies of my graphics card:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate
03: core 135 MHz shader 270 MHz memory 135 MHz
07: core 405 MHz shader 810 MHz memory 324 MHz
0f: core 575 MHz shader 1265 MHz memory 790 MHz
DC: core 405 MHz shader 810 MHz memory 324 MHz

we can see here that the frequency 07: core 405 MHz shader 810 MHz 324 MHz 
memory are used
instead of frequencies 03: core 135 MHz shader 270 MHz memory 135 MHz

at each boot, I have to log in as root and modify it with the command:

echo 03 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate

is it a bug or is it wanted by ubuntu?

thank you
