The patch 4/10 is quite big and I didn't want to put also this change in
there. I thought for readability it would be better to have a separate
patch with self-contained change (or I got your suggestion too strict).

In this patch I just wanted to show more precisely that this function
callback 'active_power' which is used by 2 users (currently):
cpufreq/scmi-cpufreq.c and opp/of.c
is going to change an argument and these files are affected.

The 4/10 changes a lot lines, while first 3 patches can be treated as
a preparation for the upcoming major change (4/10).

Thank you for the review.

Regards,
Lukasz
