- Fix two cpufreq regressions causing undesirable changes in
behavior to appear (one in the core and one in the conservative
governor) introduced during the 4.8 cycle (Aaro Koskinen, Rafael
Wysocki).
- Fix the way the intel_pstate driver accesses MSRs related to the
hardware-managed P-states (HWP) feature during the initialization
which currently is unsafe and may cause the processor to generate
a general protection fault (Srinivas Pandruvada).
- Rework the intel_pstate's P-state selection algorithm used on Atom
processors to avoid known problems with the current one and to
make the computation more straightforward, which also happens to
improve performance in multiple benchmarks a bit (Rafael Wysocki).
- Improve two comments in the intel_pstate driver (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix the desired performance computation in the CPPC cpufreq driver
(Hoan Tran).
- Fix the devfreq core to avoid printing misleading error messages
in some cases (Tobias Jakobi).
- Fix the error code path in devfreq_add_device() to use proper
locking around list modifications (Axel Lin).
- Fix a build failure and remove a couple of redundant updates of
variables in the exynos-nocp devfreq driver (Axel Lin).

Pull more power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This includes a couple of fixes for cpufreq regressions introduced in
4.8, a rework of the intel_pstate algorithm used on Atom processors
(that took some time to test) plus a fix and a couple of cleanups in
that driver, a CPPC cpufreq driver fix, and a some devfreq fixes and
cleanups (core and exynos-nocp).

- Fix two cpufreq regressions causing undesirable changes in behavior
to appear (one in the core and one in the conservative governor)
