k_po/k_pu are in essence ratio values compared with sustainable power.
So when update sustainable power, we can recalculate k_po/k_pu simply
with below formula:

               sustainable_power(new)
    k_p(new) = ---------------------- * k_p(old)
               sustainable_power(old)

Hi Eduardo,

Thanks for review.

Okay, I will try to update these properties in power_allocator.c.
Javi, do you think this is fine for you?

Thanks,

If sustainable power were to change frequently (perhaps on entry/exit of 
a fan inhibitor mode?) then we would accumulate rounding errors here...

If there isn't an immediate use case, we should hold off making any
changes until they're really needed.
