[PATCH 0/8] [SRU][j:linux, j:linux-oem-5.17, f:linux-oem-5.14] Fix AMD-PState driver for Genoa CPU

[Paolo Pisati]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1998106

[Impact]

During AMD Genoa development, the datacenter team identified performance
regressions that were caused by the amd-pstate driver. A first round of fixes
already landed upstream (v6.1-rc7) in the amd-pstate driver, and should be
backported to all the affected kernels.

[Fix]

Backport the upstream amd-pstate fixes:

[Regression potential]

Clean cherry-picks of upstream fixes, impact a single driver (amd-pstate) and
the new mode (passive) is disabled by default/opt-in. Cherry-picked three
additional documentation patches to make the entire set apply cleanly.
