Subject: [GIT PULL] Power management fixes for v6.1-rc7

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 pm-6.1-rc7

with top-most commit 1056d314709d0607a22e589c54b1e47e0da57b9d

 Documentation: add amd-pstate kernel command line options

on top of commit eb7081409f94a9a8608593d0fb63a1aa3d6f95d8

 Linux 6.1-rc6

to receive power management fixes for 6.1-rc7.

These revert a recent change in the schedutil cpufreq governor that
had not been expected to make any functional difference, but turned
out to introduce a performance regression, fix an initialization issue
in the amd-pstate driver and make it actually replace the venerable
ACPI cpufreq driver on the supported systems by default.

Specifics:

 - Revert a recent schedutil cpufreq governor change that introduced
   a performance regression on Pixel 6 (Sam Wu).

 - Fix amd-pstate driver initialization after running the kernel via
   kexec (Wyes Karny).

 - Turn amd-pstate into a built-in driver which allows it to take
   precedence over acpi-cpufreq by default on supported systems and
   amend it with a mechanism to disable this behavior (Perry Yuan).

 - Update amd-pstate documentation in accordance with the other changes
   made to it (Perry Yuan).

Thanks!
