Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Use a smaller freq for the policy->max when verify

When driver use the cpufreq_frequency_table_verify() as the
cpufreq_driver->verify's callback. It may cause the policy->max
bigger than the freq_qos's max freq.

Just as follow:

unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0 # cat scaling_available_frequencies
614400 768000 988000 1228800 1469000 1586000 1690000 1833000 2002000 2093000

unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0 # echo 1900000 > scaling_max_freq
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0 # echo 1900000 > scaling_min_freq
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0 # cat scaling_max_freq
2002000
unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0 # cat scaling_min_freq
2002000

When user set the qos_min and qos_max as the same value, and the value
is not in the freq-table, the above scenario will occur.

This is because in cpufreq_frequency_table_verify() func, when it can not
find the freq in table, it will change the policy->max to be a bigger freq,
as above, because there is no 1.9G in the freq-table, the policy->max would
be set to 2.002G. As a result, the cpufreq_policy->max is bigger than the
user's qos_max. This is unreasonable.

So use a smaller freq when can not find the freq in fre-table, to prevent
the policy->max exceed the qos's max freq.

That's a good catch! Never thought of this.

Applied as 6.10 material, thanks!
