12The drm/Panfrost driver implements the DRM client usage stats specification as
13documented in :ref:`drm-client-usage-stats`.

39Possible `drm-engine-` key names are: `fragment`, and  `vertex-tiler`.
40`drm-curfreq-` values convey the current operating frequency for that engine.
41
42Users must bear in mind that engine and cycle sampling are disabled by default,
43because of power saving concerns. `fdinfo` users and benchmark applications which
44query the fdinfo file must make sure to toggle the job profiling status of the
45driver by writing into the appropriate sysfs node::
46
47    echo <N> > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/panfrost/[a-f0-9]*.gpu/profiling
48
49Where `N` is either `0` or `1`, depending on the desired enablement status.
