[PATCH V2] cpufreq: reinitialize new policy min/max when writing scaling_(max|min)_freq

From: Kevin Wangtao
Date: Sat May 26 2018 - 03:31:26 EST


consider such situation, current user_policy.min is 1000000,
current user_policy.max is 1200000, in cpufreq_set_policy,
other driver may update policy.min to 1200000, policy.max to
1300000. After that, If we input "echo 1300000 > scaling_min_freq",
then user_policy.min will be 1300000, and user_policy.max is
still 1200000, because the input value is checked with policy.max
not user_policy.max. if we get all related cpus offline and
online again, it will cause cpufreq_init_policy fail because
user_policy.min is higher than user_policy.max.

The solution is when user space tries to write scaling_(max|min)_freq,
the min/max of new_policy should be reinitialized with min/max
of user_policy, like what cpufreq_update_policy does.
