Changelog v7-->v8
1. Rebased and tested against 5.15
2. Added a selftest to check if the energy and frequency attribues
exist and their files populated

Also, have implemented a POC using this interface for the powerpc-utils'
ppc64_cpu --frequency command-line tool to utilize this information
in userspace.
The POC for the new interface has been sent to the powerpc-utils mailing
list for early review: https://groups.google.com/g/powerpc-utils-devel/c/r4i7JnlyQ8s

Sample output from the powerpc-utils tool is as follows:

# ppc64_cpu --frequency
Power and Performance Mode: XXXX
Idle Power Saver Status : XXXX
Processor Folding Status : XXXX --> Printed if Idle power save status is supported

Platform reported frequencies --> Frequencies reported from the platform's H_CALL i.e PAPR interface
min : NNNN GHz
max : NNNN GHz
static : NNNN GHz

Tool Computed frequencies
min : NNNN GHz (cpu XX)
max : NNNN GHz (cpu XX)
avg : NNNN GHz
