Can we also add the check "if (policy->min != cpudata->min_limit_freq || policy->max != cpudata->max_limit_freq)"
in "amd_pstate_epp_update_limit()" before calling "amd_pstate_update_min_max_limit()". I think it would help in 
avoiding some unnecessary calls to the update_min_max_limit() function.

Patch looks good to me otherwise.

Thanks,
