I've run this patch set on pixel6 (android-mainline) and gathered energy
values from the meter during the PCmark 3.0.

It looks good, with these patches we have ~10% lower energy usage and
only ~3% lower score.

There are no other issues, everything works fine. Feel free to add:

Tested-by: Lukasz Luba <lukasz.luba@arm.com>

to the whole patch set.

Lukasz
