Zhang Rui f110c609b0 powercap: intel_rapl: Do not change CLAMPING bit if ENABLE bit cannot be changed 
commit 964209202e upstream.

PL1 cannot be disabled on some platforms. The ENABLE bit is still set
after software clears it. This behavior leads to a scenario where, upon
user request to disable the Power Limit through the powercap sysfs, the
ENABLE bit remains set while the CLAMPING bit is inadvertently cleared.

According to the Intel Software Developer's Manual, the CLAMPING bit,
"When set, allows the processor to go below the OS requested P states in
order to maintain the power below specified Platform Power Limit value."

Thus this means the system may operate at higher power levels than
intended on such platforms.

Enhance the code to check ENABLE bit after writing to it, and stop
further processing if ENABLE bit cannot be changed.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
