Should this be CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF_MAX ?

Without this patchset, this function returns 255 on Genoa (0x10-0x1f)
and Bergamo (0xa0-0xaf) systems. This patchset changes the return value
to 166.

The acpi-cpufreq driver computes the max frequency based on the
boost-ratio, which is the ratio of the highest_perf (returned by this
function) to the nominal_perf.

So assuming a nominal_freq of 2000Mhz, nominal_perf of 159.

Previously the max_perf = (2000*255/159) ~ 3200Mhz
With this patch max_perf = (2000*166/159) ~ 2100Mhz.

Am I missing something ?
