I'm not sure that is correct, would not something like this be more
accurate?

	if (util > max)
		util = max;
	next_f = get_next_freq(policy, util, max);

After all, if we clip util we will still only increment to the next freq
with our multiplication factor.

Hmm, or was this meant to deal with the DL/RT stuff?

Would then not something like:

	/* ULONG_MAX is used to force max_freq for Real-Time policies */
	if (util == ULONG_MAX) {
		next_f = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq;
	} else {
		if (util > max)
			util = max;
		next_f = get_next_freq(policy, util, max);
	}

Be clearer?
