falco: Enable EC controlled throttling
When the EC requests the host to throttle (for charging or thermal
related reasons) the package power consumption will be limited.
Right now this is set at 12W but that is somewhat arbitrary and may
need tuning.
1) define the THRT method in \_TZ scope for EC to call
2) enable SCI events for throttle start and stop
3) define the power limit at 12W and set it in NVS
1) Enable CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y in the kernel
2) Enable the Debug object event in acpi module
acpi.debug_layer=0x7f acpi.debug_level=0x2f
3) Using EC console generate host event for throttle start
> hostevent set 0x20000
4) Check dmesg for throttle start events
ACPI: Execute Method [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_._Q12] (Node ffff8801002c5988)
[ACPI Debug] String [0x12] "EC: THROTTLE START"
[ACPI Debug] String [0x10] "Enable PL1 Limit"
5) Using EC console generate host event for throttle stop
> hostevent set 0x40000
6) Check dmesg for throttle stop events
ACPI: Execute Method [\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_._Q13] (Node ffff8801002c59b0)
[ACPI Debug] String [0x11] "EC: THROTTLE STOP"
[ACPI Debug] String [0x11] "Disable PL1 Limit"
