The EPSS instance in SA8775P uses PERF_STATE register instead of REG_L3_VOTE to scale L3 clocks.Along with SoC specific compatible, add new generic compatible "qcom,epss-l3-perf" for PERF_STATE register based L3 scaling.

The intention for adding "qcom,epss-l3-perf" generic compatible is to use it for the chipsets which use perf state register for l3 scaling.
Using generic compatible avoids the need for adding chipset specific compatible in match table.
But received comment from konrad to add both SoC-specific and generic compatibles.
Dmitry has suggested to update generic comaptibles for sc7280 and sm8250 SoCs, which makes use of perf state registers. 
It will be done as separate patch series.
