pmu_needs_timer() keeps the timer running even when GT is parked,
ostensibly to sample requested/actual frequencies. However
frequency_sample() has the following:
/* Report 0/0 (actual/requested) frequency while parked. */
if (!intel_gt_pm_get_if_awake(gt))
return;
The above code prevents frequencies to be sampled while the GT is
parked. So we might as well turn off the sampling timer itself in this
case and save CPU cycles/power.
v2: Instead of turning freq bits off, return false, since no counters will
run after this change when GT is parked (Tvrtko)
v3: Remove gpu_active argument of pmu_needs_timer (Andrzej)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
