No change in the code of 5.12-rc2...

for (i = 0; i < dep_mclk_table->count; i++) {
		for (j = 0; j < dep_sclk_table->count; j++) {
			valid_entry = false;
			for (k = 0; k < watermarks->num_wm_sets; k++) {
				if (dep_sclk_table->entries[i].clk / 10 >= watermarks->wm_clk_ranges[k].wm_min_eng_clk_in_khz &&
				    dep_sclk_table->entries[i].clk / 10 < watermarks->wm_clk_ranges[k].wm_max_eng_clk_in_khz &&

Code fixed in 5.11.7
Thank you!
Comment 9 Bat Malin 2021-03-17 19:19:04 UTC
Code fixed but the GPU is still running @highest possible clock

So I think this is related as the new kernel driver can`t initialize the values for the discrete card.
Please fix.

possible fix

This patch should fix it.
Comment 14 Bat Malin 2021-03-26 20:25:45 UTC
Thank you Alex for your engagement! Could you please include the patch in the next 5.11.11 release so I could test the patch, sorry but I am not allowed to compile a kernel on this machine.
Comment 15 Bat Malin 2021-04-07 18:21:25 UTC
Issue fixed in 5.11.12 even now it consumes less power (~1,07W less).

Before:

amdgpu-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
vddgfx:      756.00 mV 
edge:         +35.0 C  (crit = +94.0 C, hyst = -273.1 C)
power1:        8.14 W  (cap =  60.00 W)

After:

amdgpu-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
vddgfx:      756.00 mV 
edge:         +38.0°C  (crit = +94.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C)
power1:        7.07 W  (cap =  60.00 W)
 
Thank you!
Comment 16 Bat Malin 2021-04-08 18:31:09 UTC
After reboot even better - 
amdgpu-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
vddgfx:      756.00 mV 
edge:         +35.0°C  (crit = +94.0°C, hyst = -273.1°C)
power1:        6.22 W  (cap =  60.00 W)
