I guess you can ignore my comment as init_cpu_capacity_callback (where we now
set the capacity_freq_ref) works on the same basis so there is no guarantee it
will be triggered before AMU callback.
Still having the freq_inv_set_max_ratio sitting in arch_topology.c somehow
doesn't sit well with me. We could potentially check capacity_freq_ref against
its init value and act accordingly but that is gruesome as well.
