Use the perf_to_freq helpers to calculate this on the fly.

Can we call out the below change (in the -1550,7 +1525,8 code chunk) in
the commit message, or split it out to different patch

* Adding the if check in amd_pstate_epp_update_limit()

Yeah will add to commit meesage.

We need one more hyphen here I think i.e."---", otherwise the version info is
showing up in the commit message
Ack

v3:
* Fix calc error for min_freq
v2:
* Keep cached limits

We can avoid the "{" for single line if statement, to keep checkpatch happy

This is one of the reason that I don't like to treat checkpatch as gospil. I added it specficially to avoid back and forth for the new patch. In this case I plan to keep it for that reason.

I see that this min_freq part of the code is unchanged, just moved few lines below.
If the moving is unintended can we avoid it, so that the diff is optimal.

Sure I'll see if I can re-order it a bit to keep it the same.

- if (min_freq <= 0 || max_freq <= 0 || nominal_freq <= 0 || min_freq > max_freq) {

Shouldn't we retain these sanity checks for min_freq and max_freq?

Now that we're using the helpers isn't it impossible to end up with negative values?


Thanks,
