I'll add the unlikely() as it's definitely useful.
I'm somewhat on the fence about WARN_ON_ONCE() here. Wouldn't it work better in cpufreq_driver_fast_switch()? It would cover scenarios where the default arch_set_freq_scale() is used and flag potential hardware issues with setting frequency that are currently just ignored both here and in sugov_fast_switch().
Thanks, Ionela.
