Merge cpufreq changes for 6.9-rc1:

 - Enable preferred core support in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver (Meng
   Li).

 - Fix min_perf assignment in amd_pstate_adjust_perf() and make the
   min/max limit perf values in amd-pstate always stay within the
   (highest perf, lowest perf) range (Tor Vic, Meng Li).

 - Change default transition delay in cpufreq to 2ms (Qais Yousef).

 - Drop long-unused cpudata::prev_cummulative_iowait from the
   intel_pstate cpufreq driver (Jiri Slaby).

 - Allow intel_pstate to assign model-specific values to strings used in
   the EPP sysfs interface and make it do so on Meteor Lake (Srinivas
   Pandruvada).

 - Remove references to 10ms minimum sampling rate from comments in the
   cpufreq code (Pierre Gondois).

 - Prevent scaling_cur_freq from exceeding scaling_max_freq when the
   latter is an inefficient frequency (Shivnandan Kumar).

 - Honour transition_latency over transition_delay_us in cpufreq (Qais
   Yousef).

 - Stop unregistering cpufreq cooling on CPU hot-remove (Viresh Kumar).

 - General enhancements / cleanups to ARM cpufreq drivers (tianyu2,
   Nícolas F. R. A. Prado, Erick Archer, Arnd Bergmann, Anastasia
   Belova).

 - Update cpufreq-dt-platdev to block/approve devices (Richard Acayan).

The '7. Generic subsystem callbacks' should be a section title, but
the markdown syntax is not adequate now.

Add __pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() that replaces
pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() for new users. The intent is to later
re-purpose pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() to also mark the device's last
busy stamp---which is what the vast majority of users actually need.

This is also described in pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() documentation.

There are two ways to opportunistically increment a device's runtime PM
usage count, calling either pm_runtime_get_if_active() or
pm_runtime_get_if_in_use(). The former has an argument to tell whether to
ignore the usage count or not, and the latter simply calls the former with
ign_usage_count set to false. The other users that want to ignore the
usage_count will have to explicitly set that argument to true which is a
bit cumbersome.

To make this function more practical to use, remove the ign_usage_count
argument from the function. The main implementation is in a static
function called pm_runtime_get_conditional() and implementations of
pm_runtime_get_if_active() and pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() are moved to
runtime.c.

Add a new description which covers the information about runtime EM.
It contains the design decisions, describes models and how they
reflect the reality. Remove description of the default EM. Add example
driver code which modifies EM. Add API documentation for the new feature
which allows to modify the EM in runtime.

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

So, in the example code use the purpose specific kcalloc() function
instead of the argument size * count in the kzalloc() function.

At the same time, modify the translations accordingly.
