In order to increase the self-encapsulation of the dtpm generic code, the following changes are adding a power update ops to the dtpm ops. That allows the generic code to call directly the dtpm backend function to update the power values. The power update function does compute the power characteristics when the function is invoked. In the case of the CPUs, the power consumption depends on the number of online CPUs. The online CPUs mask is not up to date at CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN state in the tear down callback. That is the reason why the online / offline are at separate state. As there is already an existing state for DTPM, this one is only moved to the DEAD state, so there is no addition of new state with these changes. The dtpm node is not removed when the cpu is unplugged. That simplifies the code for the next changes and results in a more self-encapsulated code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
