mtk_cpufreq_voltage_tracking() will be called very frequently.
retry_max is the same every time mtk_cpufreq_voltage_tracking() is
called. Is it better to calculate before and store in
mtk_cpu_dvfs_info?

I'm sorry Rex, but this commit has to be squashed with 09/15, as the logic is
that each commit has to be acceptable, and 09/15 is not, without this fix.

Besides, as Hsin-Yi suggested, calculating this every time may hit performance,
but at the same time I don't want to lose this explicit calculation...

...so I agree with this solution: perhaps you can add a "vtrack_max" variable to
mtk_cpu_dvfs_info as suggested, and fill in that one in function
mtk_cpu_dvfs_info_init(), where we effectively initialize all-the-things.
