[PATCH v5 0/5] cpufreq: improve frequency invariance support

[Ionela Voinescu]

Hi Rafael, Viresh,

Would it be okay for you to apply this series, as the majority of
changes are in cpufreq? For arch_topology and arm64 changes, they have
been reviewed and acked-by Catalin and Sudeep.

Also, please let me know if I should send v6 with Sudeep's Reviewed-by/s
applied.

Thank you,
Ionela.
