Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "These fix the (Intel-specific) Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) handling and expose it to user space via sysfs, fix and clean up several cpufreq drivers, add support for two new chips to the qoriq cpufreq driver, fix, simplify and clean up the cpufreq core and the schedutil governor, add support for "CPU" domains to the generic power domains (genpd) framework and provide low-level PSCI firmware support for that feature, fix the exynos cpuidle driver and fix a couple of issues in the devfreq subsystem and clean it up. Specifics: - Fix the handling of Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) on Intel processors and expose it to user space via sysfs to avoid having to access it through the generic MSR I/F (Rafael Wysocki). - Improve the handling of global turbo changes made by the platform firmware in the intel_pstate driver (Rafael Wysocki). - Convert some slow-path static_cpu_has() callers to boot_cpu_has() in cpufreq (Borislav Petkov). - Fix the frequency calculation loop in the armada-37xx cpufreq driver (Gregory CLEMENT). - Fix possible object reference leaks in multuple cpufreq drivers (Wen Yang). - Fix kerneldoc comment in the centrino cpufreq driver (dongjian). - Clean up the ACPI and maple cpufreq drivers (Viresh Kumar, Mohan Kumar). - Add support for lx2160a and ls1028a to the qoriq cpufreq driver (Vabhav Sharma, Yuantian Tang). - Fix kobject memory leak in the cpufreq core (Viresh Kumar). - Simplify the IOwait boosting in the schedutil cpufreq governor and rework the TSC cpufreq notifier on x86 (Rafael Wysocki). - Clean up the cpufreq core and statistics code (Yue Hu, Kyle Lin). - Improve the cpufreq documentation, add SPDX license tags to some PM documentation files and unify copyright notices in them (Rafael Wysocki). - Add support for "CPU" domains to the generic power domains (genpd) framework and provide low-level PSCI firmware support for that feature (Ulf Hansson). - Rearrange the PSCI firmware support code and add support for SYSTEM_RESET2 to it (Ulf Hansson, Sudeep Holla). - Improve genpd support for devices in multiple power domains (Ulf Hansson). - Unify target residency for the AFTR and coupled AFTR states in the exynos cpuidle driver (Marek Szyprowski). - Introduce new helper routine in the operating performance points (OPP) framework (Andrew-sh.Cheng). - Add support for passing on-die termination (ODT) and auto power down parameters from the kernel to Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) to the rk3399_dmc devfreq driver (Enric Balletbo i Serra). - Add tracing to devfreq (Lukasz Luba). - Make the exynos-bus devfreq driver suspend all devices on system shutdown (Marek Szyprowski). - Fix a few minor issues in the devfreq subsystem and clean it up somewhat (Enric Balletbo i Serra, MyungJoo Ham, Rob Herring, Saravana Kannan, Yangtao Li). - Improve system wakeup diagnostics (Stephen Boyd). - Rework filesystem sync messages emitted during system suspend and hibernation (Harry Pan)" * tag 'pm-5.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (72 commits) cpufreq: Fix kobject memleak cpufreq: armada-37xx: fix frequency calculation for opp cpufreq: centrino: Fix centrino_setpolicy() kerneldoc comment cpufreq: qoriq: add support for lx2160a x86: tsc: Rework time_cpufreq_notifier() PM / Domains: Allow to attach a CPU via genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id|name() PM / Domains: Search for the CPU device outside the genpd lock PM / Domains: Drop unused in-parameter to some genpd functions PM / Domains: Use the base device for driver_deferred_probe_check_state() cpufreq: qoriq: Add ls1028a chip support PM / Domains: Enable genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id|name() for single PM domain PM / Domains: Allow OF lookup for multi PM domain case from ->attach_dev() PM / Domains: Don't kfree() the virtual device in the error path cpufreq: Move ->get callback check outside of __cpufreq_get() PM / Domains: remove unnecessary unlikely() cpufreq: Remove needless bios_limit check in show_bios_limit() drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c: This fixes the following checkpatch warning firmware/psci: add support for SYSTEM_RESET2 PM / devfreq: add tracing for scheduling work trace: events: add devfreq trace event file ...

+Description: Intel Energy and Performance Bias Hint (EPB)
+
+ EPB for the given CPU in a sliding scale 0 - 15, where a value
+ of 0 corresponds to a hint preference for highest performance
+ and a value of 15 corresponds to the maximum energy savings.
+
+ In order to change the EPB value for the CPU, write either
+ a number in the 0 - 15 sliding scale above, or one of the
+ strings: "performance", "balance-performance", "normal",
+ "balance-power", "power" (that represent values reflected by
+ their meaning), to this attribute.
+
+ This attribute is present for all online CPUs supporting the
+ Intel EPB feature.
