Title:
  [Bionic] CPPC bug fixes

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  A number of CPPC related fixes from upstream needed for Cavium ThunderX2 
systems.

  [Fix]

  58e1c03536c9 ACPI / CPPC: Fix invalid PCC channel status errors
  b8b10bc2015c cpufreq: CPPC: Don't set transition_latency
  d29abc836843 ACPI / CPPC: Update all pr_(debug/err) messages to log the 
susbspace id

  [Test]
  A test kernel is available in ppa:yarmouth-team/cppc-tx2. This kernel was 
successfully tested on a CN99XX system.

  [Regression Potential]
  The cppcontrol feature needs to be explicitly enabled in firmware (default is 
disabled) for these patches to be in effect. Risk of regression is low.
