Looking at this more closely, I found another call site for
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() in cpufreq.c that needs the index to
be unsigned int.

But then cpufreq_frequency_table_target() returns -EINVAL, so we
should be able to handle int values.

I think you will need to fix the unconditional assignment of
    policy->cached_resolved_idx = idx
in cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq(). It doesn't check for -EINVAL, so the
qcom driver is write in checking for a negative value.
