Subject: [PATCH v8 0/7] Enhanced autonomous selection and improvements

This patch series improves the CPPC cpufreq driver with new ACPI APIs
and enhancements for Autonomous Selection (auto_select).

CPPC auto_select enables hardware-driven CPU performance scaling using
Energy Performance Preference (EPP) hints. Currently, there's limited
runtime control and visibility into CPPC performance registers.

The series adds cppc_get_perf() API to read performance controls, updates
MIN_PERF/MAX_PERF in target callbacks using existing scaling_min/max_freq
interface similar to intel_cpufreq HWP handling, and exposes perf_limited
register via sysfs to detect throttling events.

The patches are grouped as below:
- Patch 1: Add cppc_get_perf() API (independent).
- Patch 2: Warn on missing mandatory DESIRED_PERF (independent).
- Patch 3: Extend cppc_set_epp_perf for FFH/SystemMemory (independent).
- Patch 4: Update cached perf_ctrls on sysfs write (independent).
- Patch 5: Update MIN_PERF/MAX_PERF in target callbacks (depends on 4).
- Patch 6-7: APIs, sysfs and doc for perf_limited (independent).

---
v7[7] -> v8:
- patch 4 (v7): Dropped min/max_perf sysfs patch.
- patch 5 (v8): New patch to update MIN/MAX_PERF in target callbacks
  using scaling_min/max_freq interface similar to intel_cpufreq.
- patch 1-4, 6-7 (v8): Added Reviewed-by from Pierre and Lifeng on v7.
