[PATCH v2 0/4] Energy Model power in micro-Watts and SCMI v3.1 alignment

Hi all,

This is a patch set which changes Energy Model power values scale to
micro-Watts. It also upgrades the SCMI performance layer + scmi-cpufreq
driver to leverage the SCMI v3.1 spec and process micro-Watts power values
coming from FW. The higher precision in EM power field solves an issue
of a rounding error, which then can be misinterpreted as 'inefficient OPP'.
An example rounding issue calculation is present in patch 1/4 description.

Changes:
v2
- simplified 32bit checks for max number of CPUs preventing energy
  estimation overflow
- added Reviewed-by and ACKs
v1 [1]

Regards,
Lukasz Luba
