Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/7] PM: Introduce em_pd_get_higher_freq()

From: Douglas RAILLARD <douglas.raillard@....com>

em_pd_get_higher_freq() returns a frequency greater or equal to the
provided one while taking into account a given cost margin. It also
skips inefficient OPPs that have a higher cost than another one with a
higher frequency.
