I've tested on next

* a018995ac19c (HEAD -> temp, me/temp) arm64: dts: mediatek: mt8173-elm: correct PMIC's syscon reg entry
* 0f118436c61c arm64: dts: mediatek: mt8365: drop incorrect power-domain-cells
* d40e424fe6dc arm64: dts: mediatek: mt8365: use a specific SCPSYS compatible
* d7caa08a4a9b dt-bindings: mfd: mediatek,mt8195-scpsys: add mediatek,mt8365-scpsys
* 82d92a9a1b9e (tag: next-20240515, linux-next/master) Add linux-next specific files for 20240515
*   77ba09d6e7cb Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux.git

| * baac2f4c7f3b tools/power turbostat: Ignore pkg_cstate_limit when it is not available

I did the test with and without "0f118436c61c arm64: dts: mediatek: mt8365: drop incorrect 
power-domain-cells"

Without this specific patch, no regression.
