CPPC registers that OSPM programs at runtime, via sysfs (auto_sel,
energy_performance_preference, auto_act_window) or via the autonomous
mode boot parameter, can be silently lost across CPU hotplug or left
behind on driver unload:

 - Across CPU hotplug: the cpufreq core tears the policy down and the
   platform may reset the registers while the CPU is offline.
 - On driver unload: the value the driver wrote is left in the register
   instead of returning to its pre-driver state.

This series makes cppc_cpufreq keep these values consistent:

 - Patch 1: adds online()/offline() callbacks so core keeps the policy
   alive across CPU hotplug instead of tearing it down and rebuilding it.
 - Patch 2: adds u64 wrappers for the autonomous selection register.
 - Patch 3: adds a table-driven mechanism that captures each register's
   firmware value, restores it when the policy goes down, and reapplies
   the OSPM-set value when the policy comes back online.

v[1] -> v2:
 - New patch 1: keep policy across hotplug by adding online()/offline().
 - New patch 2: move the auto_sel u64 wrappers into cppc_acpi.c.
 - Restore fw values from offline(), which covers both hotplug and unload
 - Drop cppc_cache_perf_ctrls() and read reg values at offline() instead
   of caching them.
 - Add auto_act_window and defer OSPM Nominal Perf to a later series.

Without online()/offline() callbacks, the cpufreq core fully tears
down a policy during exit() when its last online CPU is offlined,
and rebuilds it during init() when it comes back.

Add lightweight online()/offline() callbacks so the core instead
keeps the policy live and reuses the driver's cpu_data across
CPU hotplug. This avoids re-reading the CPPC capabilities on every
offline/online, making CPU hotplug faster.

Re-enable CPPC from online(), as it may have been disabled while
the CPU was offline.

cppc_get_auto_sel()/cppc_set_auto_sel() use a bool, unlike the other
CPPC register get/set helpers which use a u64.

The next patch in this series saves and restores the OSPM-set registers
across CPU hotplug using a common table of get/set helpers typed as
int (*)(int, u64 *) and int (*)(int, u64), which the bool autonomous
selection helpers do not fit.

Add cppc_get_auto_sel_u64()/cppc_set_auto_sel_u64() wrappers with the u64
signature so the autonomous selection register fits alongside the others.

Values written to OSPM-set CPPC registers (via sysfs or the autonomous
boot parameter) can be lost in two ways:

  - Across CPU hotplug: the platform may reset a CPU's registers while it
    is offline.
  - On driver unload: the value the driver wrote is left in the register
    instead of returning to its pre-driver state.

Add a small table-driven mechanism that handles both:

  - On init(), capture each register's firmware value before the
    driver programs anything.
  - On offline(), read back each register's current value (whatever was
    last set via sysfs or the boot parameter) so it can be reapplied, then
    restore the firmware value.
  - On online(), reapply the value captured at offline().

Cover the Autonomous Selection (auto_sel), Energy Performance Preference
(EPP) and Autonomous Activity Window (auto_act_window) registers.
