AMDGPU PowerPlay power-management support code

Internal power-management code shared by the AMDGPU graphics driver, responsible for dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, thermal limits, and power states on AMD Radeon GPUs (primarily older pre-Navi generations such as the Polaris and Vega families).

recommendation

This is not actually a standalone driver; it is the PowerPlay power-management subsystem that lives inside the AMDGPU graphics stack. It handles clock, voltage, and thermal control for AMD Radeon GPUs and is built as part of the larger amdgpu driver rather than binding to hardware on its own.
