[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix policy data management in passive mode

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Fri Mar 17 2017 - 21:49:07 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

The policy->cpuinfo.max_freq and policy->max updates in
intel_cpufreq_turbo_update() are excessive as they are done for no
good reason and may lead to problems in principle, so drop them.

Moreover, fix intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() so that it checks
global.no_turbo in addition to global.turbo_disabled when updating
policy->cpuinfo.max_freq to make it consistent with
intel_pstate_verify_policy().

One more fix related to the passive mode.
