[v3,0/5] cpufreq: improve frequency invariance support

Hi guys,

Sorry for the delay in sending v3. Please find below the changes to this
series:

v2->v3
 - v2 can be found at [2]
 - 1/5 was introduced to check input frequencies to
   arch_set_freq_scale() as recommended by Rafael
 - The previous 2/7 was squashed into 1/7 - now 2/5, with additions to
   the changelog as suggested by Rafael.
 - The previous 3/7 (BL_SWITCHER handling) was dropped to be handled
   in a separate patch. This does not change the current functionality.
 - The previous 4/7 - now 3/5 is simplified as suggested by Viresh.
 - 3/5 - cpufreq_supports_freq_invariance() replaces
   cpufreq_sets_freq_scale(). The meaning chosen for
   cpufreq_supports_freq_invariance() is whether it can set the frequency
   scale factor, not whether arch_set_freq_scale() actually does.
 - 4/5 - Change after Catalin's Ack: The changes to
   arch_set_thermal_pressure() were dropped as they were done in a separate
   patch. Therefore this patch now has a subset of the previous changes
   at 5/7
 - 5/5 - Change after Catalin's Ack:
   s/cpufreq_sets_freq_scale/cpufreq_supports_freq_invariance
 - v3 is based on linux-next 20200814


v1 -> v2:
 - v1 can be found at [1]
 - No cpufreq flags are introduced
 - Previous patches 2/8 and 3/8 were squashed in this series under 1/7,
   to ensure bisection.
 - 2/7 was introduced as a proposal for Viresh's suggestion to use
   policy->cur in the call to arch_set_freq_scale() and is extended to
   support drivers that implement the target() callback as well
 - Additional commit message changes are added to 1/7 and 2/7, to
   clarify that the definition of arch_set_freq_scale() will filter 
   settings of the scale factor, if unwanted
 - 3/7 disables setting of the scale factor for
   CONFIG_BL_SWITCHER, as Dietmar suggested
 - Small change introduced in 4/7 to disable cpufreq-based frequency
   invariance for the users of the default arch_set_freq_scale() call
   which will not actually set a scale factor
 - build issue solved (reported by 0day test)
 - v2 is based on linux-next 20200716
 - all functional tests in v1 were repeated for v2
