Linux Distribution: Ubuntu 20.04
Graphics Card: RX 5600 XT
GPU Driver Version: AMDGPU
I can unlock the access to adjust clocks and voltages of my AMD GPU by appending the Kernel parameter amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff with kernel 5.8.x of Ubuntu 20.04 but not with kernel 5.4. Why not with kernel 5.4 ? With kernel 5.8, I can edit the file /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_od_clk_voltage but with kernel 5.4, I can't, as the file is not unlocked, permission deny even with root. I confirm I update grub after each modify. I followed the procedure from: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMDGPU
Some of my data:
$ cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff"
$ ls /sys/class/drm/card0/device | grep pp_od
pp_od_clk_voltage
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/pp_od_clk_voltage
$ uname -a

"I can't, as the file is not unlocked, permission deny even with root"
Elaborate on this. Does this file even exist?

That looks like the relevant set of patches (and more) going into drm-next-5.5.
I don't get the hostility by the way. We're just trying to help. None of this is controversial and all of the information is freely available.
