+Description:
+ The AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF) util layer exposes a
+ minimal user-space interface via a character device for feature
+ discovery and metrics monitoring.
+
+ When CONFIG_AMD_PMF_UTIL_SUPPORT is enabled, the driver creates
+ a character device:
+
+ ======================
+ /dev/amdpmf_interface
+ ======================
+
+ The interface supports a single ioctl:
+
+ ============================ =======================================
+ IOCTL Usage
+ IOCTL_AMD_PMF_POPULATE_DATA User passes a struct amd_pmf_info with
+ the size field set to sizeof(struct
+ amd_pmf_info). The driver returns all
+ available metrics and feature status
+ in the structure.
+ ============================ =======================================
+
+ struct amd_pmf_info layout:
+
+ ======================= ========== ================================
+ Field Type Description
+ size __u64 Structure size for versioning
+ features_supported __u32 Bitmask of supported features
+ platform_type __u32 Platform form factor orientation
+ power_source __u32 AC/DC power source
+ laptop_placement __u32 Device placement state
+ lid_state __u32 Lid open/closed status
+ user_presence __u32 User presence detection
+ slider_position __u32 Current power slider position
+ skin_temp __s32 Skin temperature (centidegrees)
+ gfx_busy __u32 Graphics workload percentage
+ ambient_light __s32 Ambient light sensor reading
+ avg_c0_residency __u32 Average C0 state residency
+ max_c0_residency __u32 Maximum C0 state residency
+ socket_power __u32 Socket power consumption
+ bios_input[10] __u32 Custom BIOS input parameters
+ bios_output[10] __u32 Custom BIOS output parameters
+ ======================= ========== ================================
+
+ Feature Support Flags (features_supported bitmask):
+
+ ===================================== ==== =============================
+ Flag Bit Description
+ AMD_PMF_FEAT_AUTO_MODE 0 Auto Mode feature support
+ AMD_PMF_FEAT_STATIC_POWER_SLIDER 1 Static Power Slider support
+ AMD_PMF_FEAT_POLICY_BUILDER 2 Policy Builder (Smart PC)
+ AMD_PMF_FEAT_DYNAMIC_POWER_SLIDER_AC 3 Dynamic slider on AC
+ AMD_PMF_FEAT_DYNAMIC_POWER_SLIDER_DC 4 Dynamic slider on DC
+ ===================================== ==== =============================
+
+ Return codes:
+
+ ============= ============================================================
+ Return code Description
+ 0 Success
+ EINVAL Invalid size or parameter
+ EFAULT copy_to_user/copy_from_user failures
+ ENODEV PMF device not available
+ ENOTTY Unknown ioctl command
+ ============= ============================================================
+
+ User-space tools integrating with AMD PMF to discover capabilities and
+ monitor real-time metrics for thermal and power management validation.
