platform/x86/intel-uncore-freq: Uncore frequency control via TPMI

Implement support of uncore frequency control via TPMI (Topology Aware
Register and PM Capsule Interface). This driver provides the similar
functionality as the current uncore frequency driver using MSRs.

The hardware interface to read/write is basically substitution of MSR
0x620 and 0x621. There are specific MMIO offset and bits to get/set
minimum and maximum uncore ratio, similar to MSRs.

The scope of the uncore MSRs is package/die. But new generation of CPUs
have more granular control at a cluster level. Each package/die can have
multiple power domains, which further can have multiple clusters. The
TPMI interface allows control at cluster level.

The primary use case for uncore sysfs is to set maximum and minimum
uncore frequency to reduce power consumption or latency. The current
uncore sysfs control is per package/die. This is enough for the majority
of users as workload will move to different power domains as it moves
between different CPUs.

The current uncore sysfs provides controls at package/die level. When
user sets maximum/minimum limits, the driver sets the same limits to
each cluster.

Here number of power domains = number of resources in this aux device.
There are offsets and bits to discover number of clusters and offset for
each cluster level controls.
