[PATCH v5 10/23] PM: EM: Add API for memory allocations for new tables

Lukasz Luba
2023-11-29T11:09:18Z

The runtime modified EM table can be provided from drivers. Create
mechanism which allows safely allocate and free the table for device
drivers. The same table can be used by the EAS in task scheduler code
paths, so make sure the memory is not freed when the device driver module
is unloaded.
