This patch introduces the new feature: modifiable EM perf_state table. The new runtime table would be populated with a new power data to better reflect the actual power. The power can vary over time e.g. due to the SoC temperature change. Higher temperature can increase power values. For longer running scenarios, such as game or camera, when also other devices are used (e.g. GPU, ISP) the CPU power can change. The new EM framework is able to addresses this issue and change the data at runtime safely. The runtime modifiable EM data is used by the Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS) for the task placement.
