Merge a cpupower utility update for 6.13-rc1 from Shuah Khan:

"This cpupower update for Linux 6.13-rc1 consists of changes to:

 -- bindings:
    - add generated files to gitignore
    - improve disable c_state block
    - new test to confirm cpu state is disabled

 -- bench:
    - print config file path when open cpufreq-bench.conf fails

 -- Makefile
    - override cross-compiling env params to make it easier for builds
      in Yocto environment.

 -- add documentation for new EPP value change, amd_pstate mode change,
    and turbo-boost features."
