What about just this instead ?

  static bool sugov_update_next_freq(struct sugov_policy *sg_policy, u64 time,
  				   unsigned int next_freq)
  {
 -	if (sg_policy->next_freq == next_freq)
 +	if (sg_policy->next_freq == next_freq &&
 +          !cpufreq_driver_test_flags(CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS))
  		return false;
  
  	sg_policy->next_freq = next_freq;
  	sg_policy->last_freq_update_time = time;
  
  	return true;
  }
