Hi all,

This patch set adds a new feature which allows to modify Energy Model (EM)
power values at runtime. It will allow to better reflect power model of
a recent SoCs and silicon. Different characteristics of the power usage
can be leveraged and thus better decisions made during task placement in EAS.

It's part of feature set know as Dynamic Energy Model. It has been presented
and discussed recently at OSPM2023 [3]. This patch set implements the 1st
improvement for the EM.

Thanks for the series! I'm on CC this time :-) Unfortunately I have a planned
holiday starting tomorrow, so won't get a chance to do proper review till I'm
back which would be few weeks from now.

I just want to iterate that this is a real problem being seen in practice where
it's hard to provide a single average EM for all workloads now. So we certainly
need something like this.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to help with review when I'm back from holidays.



Thanks and no worries, there will be v5. I am going to address comments
from Rafael. So probably when you're back the v5 would be there then.

Regards,
Lukasz
