Being able to set the min/max_freq_req from the driver might be
something that is needed, cf:

It would also allow to have a common way to set policy->min/max values
as they are set to the the cpuinfo.min/max_freq.

On the other hand I agree that I didn't test all the possible paths
for this change, so this is a bit audacious.


What about adding the following to have the values set for all drivers:

diff --git a/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c b/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c

I am okay with a separate series doing all these cleanups. We can set some sort
of rule on what is expected from the driver here and what is left from the core.
For example driver only sets cpuinfo.max/min and core takes care of rest. This
series would cleanup all the drivers, etc.

Ok,

Is the current state of this patch + the above modification acceptable ?
