Subject: [PATCH 0/5] RISC-V: RPMI performance service bindings and cpufreq support

This patch series introduces support for the RISC-V RPMI (RISC-V Platform
Management Interface) performance service, covering both Device Tree bindings
and a corresponding cpufreq driver.

The first part of the series adds YAML bindings to describe the RPMI performance
service as provided by platform firmware, as well as the supervisor-level
controller interface exposed to the operating system. The bindings also document
how CPU nodes reference performance domains managed by RPMI.

The final patch builds on these definitions by introducing a cpufreq driver that
leverages the RPMI performance service to manage CPU frequency scaling on RISC-V
systems. The driver supports RPMI access through SBI-based transport mechanisms
as well as dedicated supervisor-mode transports.

RPMI specification reference [1] and [2]

Test Environment is as follows:
https://github.com/yeongjoshua/linux/tree/v6.19-rc4/rpmi-performance
https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi
https://github.com/yeongjoshua/qemu/tree/rpmi-dev-upstream

Use '-M virt -M rpmi=true' when running qemu
