I agree that there will always some constraints on the system to cap
the max frequency. But these thermal clippings is called for rare
scenarios. Anyway, Your idea is worth considering. I will check if
cpufreq has any generic way of achieving this.

yes these api's are meant to be called once. I am working on a new
version where all these function will be multi-instance and hence
different cpus can support different frequency clipping.
