Maybe 'policy->max' should be checked. The limits received by SCMI is blindly
trusted. This might be ok, but could also lead to some inconsistency.

The scmi_cpufreq_driver's verify() callback could be used.

---

I think there might also be corner cases where the SCP might advertise
the maximum boosted frequency as the max limit, but boosting might not
be enabled on the kernel side.
So I think this should be checked when setting 'policy->max',

Pierre
