[PATCH 0/2] AMD Pstate driver fixes

[Dhananjay Ugwekar]

1. Handle the nominal freq units inconsistency in amd-pstate-ut, which was
leading to the below error on inserting the amd-pstate-ut module.

[ 4982.498864] amd_pstate_ut: 1    amd_pstate_ut_acpi_cpc_valid  success!
[ 4982.498873] amd_pstate_ut: 2    amd_pstate_ut_check_enabled   success!
[ 4982.509151] amd_pstate_ut: 3    amd_pstate_ut_check_perf      success!
[ 4982.509155] amd_pstate_ut: amd_pstate_ut_check_freq cpu0 max=3709000  >= nominal=2401 > lowest_nonlinear=1903000 > min=400000 > 0, the formula is incorrect!
[ 4982.509157] amd_pstate_ut: 4    amd_pstate_ut_check_freq      fail!

2. Setting the scaling_min/max_freq on shared memory CPPC systems was
broken in amd-pstate-epp driver(amd_pstate=active mode). The
scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq value was not being propagated to
the shared memory area, so the frequency capping was not being honored.

Tested on a AMD Zen3 Milan machine(shared memory CPPC): 

stress-ng is running on the system to keep the CPU utilization at 100%
to test the scaling_max_freq capping.

Before the patch:
We can see below, setting the scaling_max_freq is not taking effect.

After applying the patch:
On setting scaling_max_freq at 2GHz, the CPU frequency gets capped at 2GHz.
