Cpufreq governors may need to know what a particular target frequency
maps to in the driver without necessarily wanting to set the frequency.
Support this operation via a new cpufreq API,
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq().

The above API will call a new cpufreq driver callback, resolve_freq(),
if it has been registered by the driver. If that callback has not been
registered and a frequency table is available then the frequency table
is walked using cpufreq_frequency_table_target().

UINT_MAX is returned if no driver callback or frequency table is
available.

Why should we return UINT_MAX here? We should return target_freq, no ?

I have sent a separate patch to provide a light weight alternative to
this. If that gets accepted, we can switch over to using it.

We have 3 categories of cpufreq-drivers today:
1. setpolicy drivers: They don't use the cpufreq governors we are
   working on.
2. non-setpolicy drivers:
  A. with ->target_index() callback, these will always provide a
     freq-table.
  B. with ->target() callback, ONLY these should be allowed to provide
     the ->resolve_freq() callback and no one else.

And so I would suggest adding an additional check in
cpufreq_register_driver() to catch incorrect usage of this callback.

My goal here was to have the system operate in this case in a manner
that is obviously not optimized (running at fmax), so the platform owner
realizes that the cpufreq driver doesn't fully support the schedutil
governor.

I was originally going to just return an error code but that also means
having to check for it which would be nice to avoid if possible on this
fast path.

I'll reply to this in the next email on patch 2...

Rafael will kill me for this, as I have fallen into the same trap and
copied your *incorrect* code :(

This is a useless statement unless you do:

target_freq = clamp_val(target_freq, policy->min, policy->max);
