Merge tag 'pm-5.9-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These fix reference counting in the operating performance points (OPP) framework and address a few intel_pstate driver issues, mostly related to switching driver operation modes and similar with hardware-managed P-states (HWP) enabled. Specifics: - Fix reference counting of operating performance points (OPP) tables (Viresh Kumar). - Address intel_pstate driver interface issues, mostly related to switching operation modes and handling CPU offline and online and system-wide suspend/resume with hardware-managed P-states (HWP) enabled (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix the maximum frequency computation in the intel_pstate driver with turbo P-states disabled by the platform firmware and HWP enabled (Francisco Jerez)" * tag 'pm-5.9-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix intel_pstate_get_hwp_max() for turbo disabled cpufreq: intel_pstate: Free memory only when turning off cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add ->offline and ->online callbacks cpufreq: intel_pstate: Tweak the EPP sysfs interface cpufreq: intel_pstate: Update cached EPP in the active mode cpufreq: intel_pstate: Refuse to turn off with HWP enabled opp: Don't drop reference for an OPP table that was never parsed
