cpufreq_update_policy() get policy->max from user_policy.max:

1782 int cpufreq_update_policy(unsigned int cpu)
1783 {
[...]
1800 policy.min = data->user_policy.min;
1801 policy.max = data->user_policy.max;
1802 policy.policy = data->user_policy.policy;
1803 policy.governor = data->user_policy.governor;
[...]
1819 ret = __cpufreq_set_policy(data, &policy);
[...]

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq using policy->max
and user_policy->max, when update it, so I think _PPC changes also need
to update these two?

Thanks,
Joe
