Nouveau - Oct 2016 - [PATCH 1/3] nvbios/power_budget: Add basic power budget parsing

There is an optinal header field in the power budget table we can use to
read out the power cap of the GPU.

Sadly it is optional and if that field isn't sad, things beome
complicated.

Anyhow, this is good enough for most cards and we can use it later for
capping the power consumption of the GPUs, but first, just export those
values through hwmon.

First design, will change stuff, want comments. Thanks.

Karol Herbst (3):
  nvbios/power_budget: Add basic power budget parsing
  subdev/iccsense: Parse max and crit power level
  hwmon: expose power_max and power_crit

What is the point of duplicating values here? Just store the parsed bios 
table, like we do for fan management.

So, you wanted to make a cache because you felt you may want to let the 
user edit the values?

Not sure we should ever allow this :s At least, a RO file is a very good 
idea to help debugging and just letting the user know about such 
limitations.

So, in my opinion, I think we should just kill patch 2 and use directly 
the output of the bios table here. Maybe you can write a helper function 
in patch 1 to get the min, avg and max values and return -1 if it is not 
valid? This way, you can access this info very easily in multiple places 
without duplicating this 0xff check.
