The EM only supports power in uW. Make sure that it is not possible to
register some downstream driver which doesn't provide power in uW.
The only exception is artificial EM, but that EM is ignored by the rest of
kernel frameworks (thermal, powercap, etc).

Hi all,

The was an issue reported recently that the EM could be used with
not aligned drivers which provide milli-Watts. This patch prevents such
drivers to register EM (although there are no such in upstream).

Regards,
Lukasz

Applied as 6.9-rc material, thanks!
