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'
