Subject: [PATCH 1/2] acpi: processor: allow fixing up the frequency for a performance state

In some cases the ACPI table can have an incorrect frequency populated
for a performance state. For example, in Intel platforms, the Turbo
frequency is just listed as +1 MHz above the max non-turbo frequency.
The frequency can actually go much higher based on various factors like
temperature, voltage, etc.

Allow drivers like intel_pstate to fix up performance state frequencies
with the actual maximum value. While at it, also update the QoS
constraints if needed to match the new frequency values.

Which is a known convention based on compatibility with some older OSes.

It can.

Why do you want to do that?

Interesting. I did not know that.

To be able to use my processors at the full frequency they are capable
of. See [0] for more details.
