Add the HiSilicon uncore frequency scaling driver for Kunpeng SoCs based on
the devfreq framework.  The uncore domain contains shared computing
resources, including system interconnects and L3 cache.  The uncore
frequency significantly impacts the system-wide performance as well as
power consumption.  This driver adds support for runtime management of
uncore frequency from kernel and userspace.  The main function includes
setting and getting frequencies, changing frequency scaling policies, and
querying the list of CPUs whose performance is significantly related to
this uncore frequency domain, etc.  The driver communicates with a platform
controller through an ACPI PCC mailbox to take the actual actions of
frequency scaling.

Changelog:

v4:
- Allow devfreq core to accept device-specific sysfs ABIs
- Replace custom sysfs attrs with dev_groups and let the devfreq core
  manage it
- Update 'related_cpus' description in the devfreq ABI doc
- Remove COMPILE_TEST in Kconfig as the mailbox_client.h doesn't support
  this yet
- Replace dev_err() with dev_err_probe() during drv->probe()
- Replace mutex_init() with devm_mutex_init() to warn on UAF
- Replace uncore->dev with dev in some places to make code a bit shorter
- Remove redundant uncore->pchan check in hisi_uncore_free_pcc_chan()
- Use __free() to let compiler release temporary memory
- Clean up the error handling and redundant 'status = 0' in
  hisi_uncore_send_cmd()
- Some coding style cleanup

v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20250522031701.1912458-1-zhanjie9@hisilicon.com/
- Remove redundant resource freeing processes when drv->probe() fails as
  they're already handled by devm

v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20250520074120.4187096-1-zhanjie9@hisilicon.com/
- Make devm manage the release sequence, remove drv->remove()
- Warn on !uncore or !uncore->pchan as they're no longer expected
- Remove ioremap of pcc shared memory because it's done by the pcc driver
- Fix compiler warning of discarding 'const'
- Minor trivial coding style changes

v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20250506021434.944386-1-zhanjie9@hisilicon.com/
