Hi Shilpa,

Just saw this resend!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This function only contains code moved from
powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check with pr_crit/pr_warns replaced by
trace_powernv_throttle. Furthermore, it is not called from any other
place. Given that the original function was ~60 lines do we really
need to split it into two separate functions ? If yes, could it be an
inline function ?

If you want to retain this function, you could pass pmsr as an
argument instead of computing it afresh in
powernv_cpufreq_check_pmax()
