Values written to OSPM-set CPPC registers via sysfs 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) so it can be reapplied, then restore the firmware
value.
- On online(), reapply the value captured at offline() after the
performance request is re-established.
- On exit(), nothing is needed, as the core calls offline() first, which
already restored the firmware values.
Cover the Autonomous Selection (auto_sel), Energy Performance Preference
(EPP) and Autonomous Activity Window (auto_act_window) registers. Writes
to EPP and auto_act_window only have meaning while auto_sel is enabled,
so write auto_sel before them when enabling it and after them when
disabling it. If autonomous selection is already disabled, those writes
may be ignored.
