Add sysfs interfaces for CPPC autonomous selection in the cppc_cpufreq
driver.

The patch series is organized in two parts:

 - patch 1-5 refactor out the general CPPC register get and set functions
   in cppc_acpi.c

 - patches 6-8 expose sysfs files for users to control CPPC autonomous
   selection when supported

Changelog:

v5:

 - add more explanation to the commit logs and comments
 - change REG_OPTIONAL from bin to hex
 - split patch 2 into 3 smaller patches
 - remove CPPC_REG_VAL_READ() and CPPC_REG_VAL_WRITE() macros
 - move the modification part in patch 5 into a separate patch
 - rename the sysfs file from "energy_perf" to
   energy_performance_preference_val

v4:

 - add REG_OPTIONAL and IS_OPTIONAL_CPC_REG to judge if a cpc register is
   an optional one
 - check whether the register is optional before CPC_SUPPORTED check in
   cppc_get_reg_val() and cppc_set_reg_val()
 - check the register's type in cppc_set_reg_val()
 - add macros to generally implement registers getting and setting
   functions
 - move some logic codes from cppc_cpufreq.c to cppc_acpi.c
 - replace cppc_get_auto_sel_caps() by cppc_get_auto_sel()

v3:

 - change cppc_get_reg() and cppc_set_reg() name to cppc_get_reg_val() and
   cppc_set_reg_val()
 - extract cppc_get_reg_val_in_pcc() and cppc_set_reg_val_in_pcc()
 - return the result of cpc_read() in cppc_get_reg_val()
 - add pr_debug() in cppc_get_reg_val_in_pcc() when pcc_ss_id < 0
 - rename 'cpunum' to 'cpu' in cppc_get_reg_val()
 - move some macros from drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c to
   include/acpi/cppc_acpi.h with a CPPC_XXX prefix

v2:

 - fix some incorrect placeholder
 - change kstrtoul to kstrtobool in store_auto_select

Hello Rafael & Viresh,

There are two things about this patchset I would like your advice on:

1. Pierre and I have discussed about whether or not to show auto_act_window
and energy_performance_preference_val when auto_select is disabled [1]. It
seems like whether to show these two files has their own points. We'd like
to ask for some advice.

2. In intel_pstate driver, there is a file named
"energy_performance_preference", which accepts not only raw value but also
a few string arguments and converts them to integers. But I think this
implementation is not really nice and prefer not to follow it [2]. To
distinguish it, I named the file in cppc_cpufreq
"energy_performance_preference_val" instead of
"energy_performance_preference". Should I follow the implementation of
intel_pstate?     

Looking forward to your reply!

OK, so I'm wondering how this is related to the patch series at

This series refactors some cppc_acpi ABIs and supports cppc autonomous
selection with sysfs files in cpufreq policy.  Later, [1] proposed another
design with different user interfaces.We will discuss and reach a consensus
with regard to this.

However, as mentioned in [1], patch 1-7 in this series (the cppc_acpi part)
are not related to user interfaces, so can be reviewed and applied
separately.  I can also send patch 1-7 as a new thread if preferred.

I tried the patchset on a platform which doesn't implement CPC and everything worked well.
As Lifeng said,
   PATCH v5 8/8] cpufreq: CPPC: Support for autonomous selection in cppc_cpufreq
seems to be still in discussion, but for patches 1-7 FWIW:
