    Subject[PATCH 4/5] cpufreq: schedutil: map raw required frequency to CPU-supported frequency
    Date
    The mechanisms for remote CPU updates and slow-path frequency
    transitions are relatively expensive - the former is an IPI while the
    latter requires waking up a thread to do work. These activities should
    be avoided if they are not necessary. To that end, calculate the
    actual target-supported frequency required by the new utilization
    value in schedutil. If it is the same as the previously requested
    frequency then there is no need to continue with the update.
