Message

CPPC feedback counters can be unchanged or 0 when cores are idle, e.g.
clock-gated or power-gated.  In such case, get the latest desired perf for
calculating frequency.

Also, the HiSilicon CPPC workaround can now be removed as it can be handled
by the common code.

---
v4:
- Some additional comments as suggested. No functions changes.

v3:
- Merge patch 1 & 2, tidy up the logic, and reduce duplicate code
- Return 0 in cppc_perf_from_fbctrs() if the feedback counters are
  unchanged rather than return a cached desired perf
- Return early in cppc_scale_freq_workfn() if the feedback counters are
  unchanged

v2:
- Try reading the lastest desired perf first before using the cached one
- Do the same handling logic when feedback counters are unchanged
- Remove hisilicon workaround
