Extend cppc_set_epp_perf() to write both auto_sel and energy_perf
registers when they are in FFH or SystemMemory address space.

This keeps the behavior consistent with PCC case where both registers
are already updated together, but was missing for FFH/SystemMemory.

Don't know if such a scenario exists, but if one of them is in PCC and the
other is in FFH or system memory, only the one in PCC will be updated
based on your modifications.
The current code handles mixed cases correctly.
When either register is in PCC, the first if block executes and calls
cpc_write() for both registers. The cpc_write() internally handles
each register's type (PCC, FFH, or SystemMemory)
Yes, I was wrong.

According to the first if block, cpc_wite() is OK to be called for a
register not in PCC. So it looks like this 'else if' is unnecessary. Only
CPC_SUPPORTED is needed to be checked before calling cpc_write(), isn't it?

Yes, Once 'osc_cpc_flexible_adr_space_confirmed' is removed,
cppc_set_epp_perf() can be simplified to just call cpc_write() for
supported registers and only do PCC handling when needed.
As Pierre suggested [1], I will send a separate patch set for this
cleanup after the current patch set.
