It is just a helper pointer, to make the code simpler and avoid nested
pointers:

struct device *dev = dfc->devfreq->dev.parent
and then using dev->em

The code is cleaner with dfc->em, but let me have a look if I can
remove it and still have a clean code.

It was needed for devfreq cooling to know who registered the EM.
If there is 2 frameworks and driver and all could register EM,
this code cannot blindly unregister EM in it's code. The EM might
be used still by PowerCap DTM, so the unregister might be called
explicitly by the driver.

But I will rewrite the register function and make it way simpler,
just registration of EM (stopping when it failed) and then cooling
device. Also unregister will be simpler.

Driver will have to keep the order of unregister functions for two
frameworks and call unregister devfreq cooling device as last one,
because it will remove the EM.

The parent has OPPs and we are calling em_perf_domain_register() or
dev_pm_opp_of_register_em() (which in addition needs DT node) for that
device.

The old devfreq cooling code also had dev parent, to enable/disenable
OPPs.

Not needed too much, but helps if driver doesn't check the
result of registration function and then just calls unregister
function, i.e.

	if (pfdev->devfreq.cooling)
		devfreq_cooling_unregister(pfdev->devfreq.cooling);

OK, I will rewrite it. The goal was to be able handle many situations
in register/unregister function, but I will make them simpler.

Thank you Daniel for review comments. I will address them in next
version.
