Checked. You are right.
And actually true even for HSW and BDW. 120 is the default and 100 is for test mode.

I'm just not convinced this is the right way to fix this here.
Mainly because for most of platforms the alternate is 100 and default is 120.
The ideal in my opinion should be to invert the alternate inside ssc_freqeuncy function and use the exception, that is probably IS_PINEVIEW(dev)...

Not sure though... just a guess since this alternate was implemented for pineview...
