Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] AMD Pstate Driver Fixes and Improvements

Hello everyone,

This patchset addresses critical issues and enhances performance settings for CPUs
with heterogeneous core types in the AMD pstate driver. 
Specifically, it resolves problems related to calculating the highest performance
and frequency on the latest CPUs with preferred cores. 
Additionally, the patchset includes documentation improvements in amd-pstate.rst,
offering a comprehensive guide covering topics such as recommended reboot requirements
during driver switching, debugging procedures for driver loading failures.

Your feedback and suggestions for improvement are highly appreciated. 
Please review the patches and provide your valuable input.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Perry.

Changes from V1:
 * drop patch 11 which has been merged in a separate patch. (Mario)
 * fix some typos in commit log and tile (Mario)
 * fix the patch 11 regression issue of kernel command line (Oleksandr Natalenko)
 * pick ack flag for patch 7 (Mario)
 * drop patch 4 which is not recommended for user(Mario)
 * rebase to linux-pm/bleeding-edge branch
 * fix some build warning
 * rework the patch 3 for CPU ID matching(Mario)
 * address feedback for patch 5 (Mario)
 * move the acpi pm profile after got default mode(Mario)
