[ Upstream commit eacc9c5a92 ]
This fixes the behavior of the scaling_max_freq and scaling_min_freq
sysfs files in systems which had turbo disabled by the BIOS.
Caleb noticed that the HWP is programmed to operate in the wrong
P-state range on his system when the CPUFREQ policy min/max frequency
is set via sysfs. This seems to be because in his system
intel_pstate_get_hwp_max() is returning the maximum turbo P-state even
though turbo was disabled by the BIOS, which causes intel_pstate to
scale kHz frequencies incorrectly e.g. setting the maximum turbo
frequency whenever the maximum guaranteed frequency is requested via
sysfs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
