Use Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA) technical to add dynamic power model for binding CPU thermal zone. The power allocator governor allocates power budget to control CPU temperature.
Power Allocator governor is able to keep SOC temperature within a defined temperature range to avoid SOC overheat and keep it's performance.
mt8173-cpufreq.c need to register its' own power model with power allocator thermal governor, so that power allocator governor can allocates suitable power budget to control CPU temperature.

Change since V5:
1. Remove thermal sensor ID from phandles
Change since V4:
1. Remove unnecessary error-checking for mt8173-cpufreq.c 2. Initializing variable capacitance with 0
Change since V3:
1. Remove static power model
2. Split V3's device tree in two for thermal zones and dynamic power models respectively
Change since V2:
1. Move dynamic/static power model in device tree
Change since V1:
1. Include mt8171.h and sort header file for mt8173.dtsi
