There are different usage of this EM feature:
1. Adjust power values after boot is finish and e.g. ASV in Exynos
    has adjusted new voltage values in the OPP framework. It's
    due to chip binning. I have described that in conversation
    below patch 22/23. I'm going to send a patch for that
    platform and OPP fwk later as a follow up to this series.
2. Change the EM power values after long gaming, when the GPU
    heats up the SoC heavily and CPUs start increase the leakage
3. Change the EM for long running heavy apps, e.g. video conference app,
    which is using camera w/ image AI and filters (so some heavy stuff)
4. any other optimization that vendor/OEM like to have for
