This is my attempt at adding devfreq (and cooling device) support to
the lima driver.

Test results from a Meson8m2 board:
TEST #1: glmark2-es2-drm --off-screen in an infinite loop while cycling
         through all available frequencies using the userspace governor

Changes since RFC v2 at [1]:
- added #cooling-cells to the dt-bindings (new patch #1)
- skip devfreq initialization when the operating-points-v2 property is
  absent
- call dev_pm_opp_set_regulators() so devfreq will actually manage the
  mali-supply regulator
- rebased on top of drm-misc-next-2020-02-21

Changes since RFC v1 at [0]:
- added lock to protect the statistics as these can be written 
  concurrently for example when the GP and PP IRQ are firing at the
  same time. Thanks to Qiang Yu for the suggestion!
- updated the copyright notice of lima_devfreq.c to indicate that the
  code is derived from panfrost_devfreq.c. Thanks to  Chen-Yu Tsai  for
  the suggestion!
- I did not unify the code with panfrost yet because I don't know where
  to put the result. any suggestion is welcome though!
