CPPC v4 (ACPI 6.6, Section 8.4.6) adds two optional entries to the
_CPC package:

1. OSPM Nominal Performance (8.4.6.1.2.6): A write-only register that
lets OSPM inform the platform what it considers nominal performance.
The platform classifies performance above this level as boost and
below as throttle for its power/thermal decisions.

2. Resource Priority (8.4.6.1.2.7): A Package of Resource Priority
Register Descriptor sub-packages that allow OSPM to set relative
priority among processors for shared resources (boost, throttle,
L2/L3 cache, memory bandwidth). Parsing the full structure is not
yet supported; such entries are marked as unsupported.

Add v4 _CPC table parsing (25 entries) and update REG_OPTIONAL to
mark the two new registers as optional.

This patch is good to go AFAICS, while there are still comments on the
second one in the series.

Do you want me to apply this one separately?

Yes please. Patch 1 is independent of patch 2.
I will send patch 2 separately as a v5 after addressing the
review comments.

Thank you,
Sumit Gupta
