Coming back to this series. We have two options, based on what I
proposed here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20210811050327.3yxrk4kqxjjwaztx@vireshk-i7/

1. Let cpufreq core register with EM on behalf of cpufreq drivers.

2. Update drivers to use ->ready() callback to do this stuff.

I am fine with both :)
