[TRACKING] Battery flipping between charging and discharging / Draws from battery even on AC

[James3]

I have investigated the PROCHOT, see this thread:

Amdgpu_top Throttle Status

I am looking in amdgpu_top and see the following: Throttle Status: [PROCHOT_CPU, PROCHOT_GPU] Using a EC CCD, there is a “apthrottle” command that lists the status of each prochot throttle. The EC apthrottle command says there are no active PROCHOT throttles, but amdgpu_top says there are. So, the purpose of this message is to try to fix the PROCHOT behavior so that it actually sets and clears the PROCHOT correctly. The EC attempts to set and clear them by writing to a GPIO on the EC. Do …

Conclusion, the EC does not have any bearing or control over PROCHOT_CPU and PROCHOT_GPU.

The EC can do EDC_CPU which makes everything really really slow.
