power: avs: Add support for CPR (Core Power Reduction)
CPR (Core Power Reduction) is a technology that reduces core power on a CPU or other device. It reads voltage settings in efuse from product test process as initial settings. Each OPP corresponds to a "corner" that has a range of valid voltages for a particular frequency. While the device is running at a particular frequency, CPR monitors dynamic factors such as temperature, etc. and adjusts the voltage for that frequency accordingly to save power and meet silicon characteristic requirements. This driver is based on an RFC by Stephen Boyd[1], which in turn is based on work by others on codeaurora.org[2].
