Subject: [GIT PULL] Power management fixes for v5.11-rc3

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 pm-5.11-rc3

with top-most commit c4151604f0603d5700072183a05828ff87d764e4

 cpufreq: intel_pstate: remove obsolete functions

on top of commit e71ba9452f0b5b2e8dc8aa5445198cd9214a6a62

 Linux 5.11-rc2

to receive power management fixes for 5.11-rc3.

These address two issues in the intel_pstate driver and one in the
powernow-k8 cpufreq driver.

Specifics:

 - Make the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver avoid calling cpufreq_cpu_get(),
   which theoretically may return NULL, to get a policy pointer that
   is known to it already (Colin Ian King).

 - Drop two functions that are not used any more from the intel_pstate
   driver (Lukas Bulwahn).

 - Make intel_pstate check the HWP capabilities to get the maximum
   available P-state in the passive mode to avoid using a stale value
   of it in case of out-of-band updates (Rafael Wysocki).

Thanks!
