Phoronix: More DRM Code Gets Aligned For Linux 4.8 Via DRM-Next

Complementing the significant amount of Intel DRM driver code already vetted and queued up for the Linux 4.8 cycle via DRM-Next, more code was pulled in last night for the various Direct Rendering Manager drivers in preparation for this next kernel cycle later in the summer...

yes overclock support is awesome, and even better than windows (20% vs 15 %)

I didn't catch the actual core clock rate it was running at in the video but I don't think it's actually any different than Windows. The stock clock of a reference 7790 is 1000MHz, your card was factory OC'd with a default clock of 1050MHz. My guess is DRM-Next doesn't care what the factory OC was it's percentages are setting it based on that of the reference clock.

Glad OC is in but I'd prefer just sending the desired target clock as you do in Windows to avoid the confusion.

in console output
1050 > 1280
1500 > 1800
in windows
1050 + 14.2%
1500 > 1600

TI OMAP is doing fine, it's just not called OMAP anymore =). It's AM4 or AM5 or DRA7, and sold to other uses than smart-phones.
