PM / OPP: Introduce a power estimation helper
The Energy Model (EM) framework provides an API to let drivers register the active power of CPUs. The drivers are expected to provide a callback method which estimates the power consumed by a CPU at each available performance levels. How exactly this should be implemented, however, depends on the platform. On some systems, PM_OPP knows the voltage and frequency at which CPUs can run. When coupled with the CPU 'capacitance' (as provided by the 'dynamic-power-coefficient' devicetree binding), it is possible to estimate the dynamic power consumption of a CPU as P = C * V^2 * f, with C its capacitance and V and f respectively the voltage and frequency of the OPP. The Intelligent Power Allocator (IPA) thermal governor already implements that estimation method, in the thermal framework. However, this power estimation method can be applied to any platform where all the parameters are known (C, V and f), and not only those suffering thermal issues. As such, the code implementing this feature can be re-used to also populate the EM framework now used by EAS. As a first step, introduce in PM_OPP a helper function which CPUFreq drivers can use to register into the EM framework. This duplicates the power estimation done in IPA until it can be migrated to using the EM framework. This will be done later, once the EM framework has support for at least all platforms currently supported by IPA.
