Merge tag 'pm-7.1-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pmHEADmaster
Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These fix maximum frequency computation in the intel_pstate driver for two processor models, update its documentation and fix issues related to the dynamic EPP support (added during the current development cycle) in the amd-pstate driver: - Fix maximum frequency computation in the intel_pstate driver for Raptor Lake-E and Bartlett Lake that are SMP platforms derived from hybrid ones (Rafael Wysocki, Henry Tseng) - Fix the description of asymmetric packing with SMT in the intel_pstate driver documentation (Ricardo Neri) - Fix multiple amd-pstate driver issues related to dynamic EPP support added recently, including making it opt-in only (K Prateek Nayak, Mario Limonciello)" * tag 'pm-7.1-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: cpufreq/amd-pstate: Drop Kconfig option for dynamic EPP cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use HYBRID_SCALING_FACTOR_ADL for Bartlett Lake cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use correct scaling factor on Raptor Lake-E Documentation: intel_pstate: Fix description of asymmetric packing with SMT cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut: Drop policy reference before driver switch cpufreq/amd-pstate: Use "epp_default_dc" as default when dynamic_epp is disabled cpufreq/amd-pstate: Reorder notifier unregistration and floor perf reset cpufreq/amd-pstate: Allow writes to dynamic_epp when state isn't modified cpufreq/amd-pstate: Return -ENOMEM on failure to allocate profile_name cpufreq/amd-pstate: Grab "amd_pstate_driver_lock" when toggling dynamic_epp
