Sorry for the confusing.

The issue is when we disable hardcap before kernel boot up, after kernel bring
up, any changes of _PPC will update scaling_max_freq properly.

If we enable hardcap before kernel boot up, after kernel bring up, even we 
disable it, scaling_max_freq does not be updated to max frequency, the max 
frequency just up to the value when bring up.

Review related codes I found the limit came from user_policy.max, means when
we set user_policy.max to 1000MHZ when boot up, then any changes of _PPC could
not enlarge the scaling_max_freq, I think this is not as expected? please advise.

Thanks,
Joe
