arm64: dts: juno: Add cpu dynamic-power-coefficient information
A CPUfreq driver, like the scpi driver used on Juno boards, which
provide the Energy Model with power cost information via the PM_OPP
of_dev_pm_opp_get_cpu_power() function, do need the
dynamic-power-coefficient (C) in the device tree.
Method used to obtain the C value:
C is computed by measuring energy (E) consumption of a frequency domain
(FD) over a 10s runtime (t) sysbench workload running at each Operating
Performance Point (OPP) affine to 1 or 2 CPUs of that FD while the other
CPUs of the system are hotplugged out.
By definition all CPUs of a FD have the the same micro-architecture. An
OPP is characterized by a certain frequency (f) and voltage (V) value.
The corresponding power values (P) are calculated by dividing the delta
of the E values between the runs with 2 and 1 CPUs by t.
With n data tuples (P, f, V), n equal to number of OPPs for this
frequency domain, we can solve C by:
P = Pstat + Pdyn
P = Pstat + CV²f
Cx = (Px - P1)/(Vx²fx - V1²f1) with x = {2, ..., n}
The C value is the arithmetic mean out of {C2, ..., Cn}.
Since DVFS is broken on Juno r1, no dynamic-power-coefficient
information has been added to its dts file.
