[ Upstream commitf97aef092e] Commita755d0e2d4("cpufreq: Honour transition_latency over transition_delay_us") caused platforms where cpuinfo.transition_latency is CPUFREQ_ETERNAL to get a very large transition latency whereas previously it had been capped at 10 ms (and later at 2 ms). This led to a user-observable regression between 6.6 and 6.12 as described by Shawn: "The dbs sampling_rate was 10000 us on 6.6 and suddently becomes 6442450 us (4294967295 / 1000 * 1.5) on 6.12 for these platforms because the default transition delay was dropped [...]. It slows down dbs governor's reacting to CPU loading change dramatically. Also, as transition_delay_us is used by schedutil governor as rate_limit_us, it shows a negative impact on device idle power consumption, because the device gets slightly less time in the lowest OPP." Evidently, the expectation of the drivers using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL as cpuinfo.transition_latency was that it would be capped by the core, but they may as well return a default transition latency value instead of CPUFREQ_ETERNAL and the core need not do anything with it. Accordingly, introduce CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_TRANSITION_LATENCY_NS and make all of the drivers in question use it instead of CPUFREQ_ETERNAL. Also update the related Rust binding.

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 reStructuredText 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.
