If we change the meaning of the return value, I think the function needs
a name change as well.

Also, we do treat this as a cooling state when we do validation and
compare it to THERMAL_CSTATE_INVALID,  but it's not actually a cooling
state (it's max_state - state). It does create confusion if we name
"state" both a performance index and a cooling state.

Given that the only user is devfreq_cooling_get_requested_power(),
might be good to collapse freq_get_state() in that function and rename
the "state" variable in there to "em_perf_idx".

Is there a reason for not directly returning the power value in this
function? Also, this only does a few arithmetic operations and it's only
called in one place. Is it worth to have this in a separate function?

Nit: You could use power directly and remove est_power as well.

Nit: Might be more clear to replace "index" with cooling state. Then
knowledge about cooling states would make this more clear.
