Subject: [GIT PULL] Power management fixes for v6.8-rc2

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 pm-6.8-rc2

with top-most commit f3bdd82c5834219a5b272c2310c83aef68667486

 Merge branch 'pm-cpufreq'

on top of commit 6613476e225e090cc9aad49be7fa504e290dd33d

 Linux 6.8-rc1

to receive power management fixes for 6.8-rc2.

These fix two cpufreq drivers and the cpupower utility.

Specifics:

 - Fix the handling of scaling_max/min_freq sysfs attributes in the AMD
   P-state cpufreq driver (Mario Limonciello).

 - Make the intel_pstate cpufreq driver avoid unnecessary computation of
   the HWP performance level corresponding to a given frequency in the
   cases when it is known already, which also helps to avoid reducing
   the maximum CPU capacity artificially on some systems (Rafael J.
   Wysocki).

 - Fix compilation of the cpupower utility when CFLAGS is passed as a
   make argument for cpupower, but it does not take effect as expected
   due to mishandling (Stanley Chan).

Thanks!
