mb/google/brya: Use default EPP of 50% for skolas
A power and performance analysis performed on Alder Lake demonstrated that with an EPP (Energy Performance Preference) at 50% along with EET (Energy Efficient Turbo) disabled, the overall SoC performance are similar or better and the SoC uses less power. For instance some browser benchmark results improved by 2% and some multi-core tests by 4% while at the same time power consumption lowered by approximately 7.6%. Similar results are observed on Raptor Lake. BRANCH=firmware-brya-14505.B BUG=b:240669428 TEST=verify that EPP is back to the by default 50% setting `iotools rdmsr 0 0x774' Signed-off-by: Jeremy Compostella <jeremy.compostella@intel.com> Change-Id: I735ad9d88c7bf54def7a23b75abc4e89a213fb61 Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/66282 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Zhixing Ma <zhixing.ma@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Selma Bensaid <selma.bensaid@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tim Wawrzynczak <twawrzynczak@chromium.org>
