[PATCH v1 0/9] Move RAPL defaults to interface drivers

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan

Hi All,

The Intel RAPL common driver has accumulated a significant amount of
interface-specific logic over time. There is very little common code
shared across the MSR, TPMI, and MMIO interface-specific defaults.
Keeping these interface-specific defaults in the common layer therefore
provides no real benefit and instead increases complexity and
maintenance burden.

As a first step toward cleaning this up, this series moves
rapl_defaults ownership from the common driver into the individual
interface drivers and allows each interface to provide its own defaults
directly. Additional interface-specific cleanups in the RAPL common
driver will be addressed in follow-up work. This series is a
continuation of the earlier cleanup and refactoring effort initiated
by Zhang Rui.

Patch Summary:

Patch 1-4/9: Preparatory patches that do code cleanups in intel_rapl_common
driver.
Patch 5/9: Preparatory patch that renames/declares the common functions.
Patch 6/9: Move TPMI default settings from the common driver into the
TPMI interface driver.

Patch 7/9: Move MMIO default settings from the common driver into the
MMIO interface driver.

Patch 8/9: Register the PM notifier only when a RAPL package exists.

Patch 9/9: Move MSR default settings from the common driver into the MSR
interface driver.

No functional changes are intended across the series. This is strictly a
structural refactoring to simplify the common RAPL code and prepare it
for further cleanups.
