Wrapped line length to 100 as per the max limit.
Will change to 80 chars if that's preferred.

   $ grep "max_line_length =" scripts/checkpatch.pl
   my $max_line_length = 100;

In v2, changed names of some functions for better clarity. One of those
was rename cppc_set_epp_perf() to cppc_set_epp_and_autosel() to reflect
that the API updates both. Reverted those changes after suggestion from
Rafael in [1] to avoid renaming.
There are existing separate API's cppc_set_auto_sel() & cppc_set_epp()
which set the register directly.
This change keeps the behavior of cppc_set_epp_perf() consistent to update
both together as that is already happening for PCC but not for other cases.
