Changelog v5 --> v6
1. On allocation faliure of "pgs[idx].pg attributes", redirect the free
using "goto" to a common cleanups section for consistency
Also, have implemented a POC using this interface for the powerpc-utils'
ppc64_cpu --frequency command-line tool to utilize this information
in userspace.
The POC for the new interface has been hosted here:
https://github.com/pratiksampat/powerpc-utils/tree/H_GET_ENERGY_SCALE_INFO_v2
Sample output from the powerpc-utils tool is as follows:
# ppc64_cpu --frequency
Power and Performance Mode: XXXX
Idle Power Saver Status : XXXX
Processor Folding Status : XXXX --> Printed if Idle power save status is supported
Platform reported frequencies --> Frequencies reported from the platform's H_CALL i.e PAPR interface
min : NNNN GHz
max : NNNN GHz
static : NNNN GHz
Tool Computed frequencies
min : NNNN GHz (cpu XX)
max : NNNN GHz (cpu XX)
avg : NNNN GHz
