mb/google/{rex,ovis}: Disable package C-state auto demotion
Package C-state auto demotion feature allows hardware to determine lower C-state as per platform policy. Since platform sets performance policy to balanced from hardware, auto demotion can be disabled without performance impact. Also, disabling this feature results soc to enter below PC8 state and additional power savings ~30mW in Local-Video-Playback scenario. BUG=b:303546334 TEST=Local build successfully & Boot to OS successfully - Also check platform enter PC8 state in local video playback - before this change: # iotools rdmsr 0 0xE2 -> 0x0000000060008008 - After # iotools rdmsr 0 0xE2 -> 0x0000000000008008 Change-Id: Ia4cf4a7cb6bd5eaae26197b55f9385c078960d7b Signed-off-by: Sukumar Ghorai <sukumar.ghorai@intel.com> Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/78250 Reviewed-by: Subrata Banik <subratabanik@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Lai <ericllai@google.com> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Kapil Porwal <kapilporwal@google.com>
