+Workload Type Hints
+----------------------------------------
+
+The firmware in Meteor Lake processor generation is capable of identifying
+workload type and passing hints regarding it to the OS. A special sysfs
+interface is provided to allow user space to obtain workload type hints from
+the firmware and control the rate at which they are provided.
+
+User space can poll attribute "workload_type_index" for the current hint or
+can receive a notification whenever the value of this attribute is updated.
+
+file:`/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:04.0/workload_hint/`
+Segment 0, bus 0, device 4, function 0 is reserved for the processor thermal
+device on all Intel client processors. So, the above path doesn't change
+based on the processor generation.
+
+``workload_hint_enable`` (RW)
+ Enable firmware to send workload type hints to user space.
+
+``notification_delay_ms`` (RW)
+ Minimum delay in milliseconds before firmware will notify OS. This is
+ for the rate control of notifications. This delay is between changing
+ the workload type prediction in the firmware and notifying the OS about
+ the change. The default delay is 1024 ms. The delay of 0 is invalid.
+ The delay is rounded up to the nearest power of 2 to simplify firmware
+ programming of the delay value. The read of notification_delay_ms
+ attribute shows the effective value used.
+
+``workload_type_index`` (RO)
+ Predicted workload type index. User space can get notification of
+ change via existing sysfs attribute change notification mechanism.
+
+ The supported index values and their meaning for the Meteor Lake
+ processor generation are as follows:
+
+ 0 - Idle: System performs no tasks, power and idle residency are
+ consistently low for long periods of time.
+
+ 1 – Battery Life: Power is relatively low, but the processor may
+ still be actively performing a task, such as video playback for
+ a long period of time.
+
+ 2 – Sustained: Power level that is relatively high for a long period
+ of time, with very few to no periods of idleness, which will
+ eventually exhaust RAPL Power Limit 1 and 2.
+
+ 3 – Bursty: Consumes a relatively constant average amount of power, but
+ periods of relative idleness are interrupted by bursts of
+ activity. The bursts are relatively short and the periods of
+ relative idleness between them typically prevent RAPL Power
+ Limit 1 from being exhausted.
+
+ 4 – Unknown: Can't classify.
