Hi all:

AMD P-State unit test(amd-pstate-ut) is a kernel module for testing the
functions of amd-pstate.
It could import as a module to launch some test tasks.

We upstream out AMD P-state driver into Linux kernel and use this unit
test module to verify the required conditions and basic functions of
amd-pstate before integration test.

When you test all the test cases, you will get the following test results.
The status "P" is pass, "F" is fail.
jasmine@jasmine:/sys/module/amd_pstate_ut/parameters$ cat
unit_test
Index    Test cases              Status
0        stop                    [ ]
1        all                     [P]
2        x86_vendor              [P]
3        acpi_cpc_valid          [P]
4        modprobed_driver        [P]
5        capability_check        [P]
6        enable                  [P]
7        init_perf               [P]
8        support_boost           [P]
9        clear_status            [ ]
------------------------------------------
begin_index = 1 end_index= 8

For exmaple: The test case acpi_cpc_valid is used to check whether the
_CPC object is exist in SBIOS.
The amd-pstate initialization will fail if the _CPC in ACPI SBIOS is
not existed at the detected processor, so it is a necessary condition.

At present, its test cases are very simple, and the corresponding test
cases will continue to be added later to improve the test coverage.

Thanks,
Jasmine
