      drm/amdgpu/powerplay: add some documentation about memory clock · ccda42a4
      Alex Deucher authored
      We expose the actual memory controller clock rate in Linux,
      not the effective memory clock of the DRAMs.  To translate
      it, it follows the following formula:
      
      Clock conversion (Mhz):
      HBM: effective_memory_clock = memory_controller_clock * 1
      G5:  effective_memory_clock = memory_controller_clock * 1
      G6:  effective_memory_clock = memory_controller_clock * 2
      
      DRAM data rate (MT/s):
      HBM: effective_memory_clock * 2 = data_rate
      G5:  effective_memory_clock * 4 = data_rate
      G6:  effective_memory_clock * 8 = data_rate
      
      Bandwidth (MB/s):
      data_rate * vram_bit_width / 8 = memory_bandwidth
      
      Some examples:
      G5 on RX460:
      memory_controller_clock = 1750 Mhz
      effective_memory_clock = 1750 Mhz * 1 = 1750 Mhz
      data rate = 1750 * 4 = 7000 MT/s
      memory_bandwidth = 7000 * 128 bits / 8 = 112000 MB/s
      
      G6 on RX5600:
      memory_controller_clock = 900 Mhz
      effective_memory_clock = 900 Mhz * 2 = 1800 Mhz
      data rate = 1800 * 8 = 14400 MT/s
      memory_bandwidth = 14400 * 192 bits / 8 = 345600 MB/s
