Subject[PATCH] [RFC] cpufreq: can't raise max frequency with cpu_thermal
Date
The cpu_thermal generic thermal management code has a bug where once
max cpu frequency has been lowered in sysfs (scaling_max_freq) it is
not possible to raise the max back up later. The bug is that the
notifer gets called by __cpufreq_set_policy() before the user policy
max is raised, and is incorrectly trying to enforce the max frequency
policy even when we are trying to change the policy. It is also not
clear why this driver is looking at the user policy since it is
primarily supposed to enforce thermal policy, not user set policy.
