cpuinfo_max_freq can change at runtime because of boost as example. This
implies that the value could not be the same than the one that has been
used when computing the capacity of a CPU.

The new arch_scale_freq_ref() returns a fixed and coherent frequency
reference that can be used when computing a frequency based on utilization.

Use this arch_scale_freq_ref() when available and fallback to
cpuinfo.max_freq otherwise.

Yes, I forgot to change parameter and its description

double space    ^^

static __always_inline
unsigned long arch_scale_freq_ref_policy(struct cpufreq_policy *policy)
{
#ifdef arch_scale_freq_ref
	return arch_scale_freq_ref(policy->cpu);
#endif

	if (arch_scale_freq_invariant())
		return policy->cpuinfo.max_freq;

	return policy->cur;
}

Would have the lot in a single function and possibly easier to read?

Leave the variable below per the inverse christmas thing.

I was expecting checkpatch.pl to catch it

will fix them

This should not be an arch_ function as it's only a wrapper over an
arch_ function and not a function that different architectures might
implement differently usually in architecture specific code.

It might make it easier to read if arch_scale_freq_ref() had a default
implementation that returned 0.

Then this code would simply become:

freq = arch_scale_freq_ref(policy->cpu);
if (freq)
	return freq;
else if (arch_scale_freq_invariant())
	return ..
..

This approach is similar to the use of arch_freq_get_on_cpu() in
cpufreq.c, and, as there, having a chosen maximum frequency of 0 would
not be a valid value.

Given its single use here, it would likely be better to place the code
above directly here, rather than create a wrapper over a few lines of
code.

Hope it helps,
Ionela.
