SubjectRe: [RFT][Update][PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Update max CPU frequency on global turbo changes
Hi Rafael,

+CC Peter since we were talking about cpuinfo.*_freq recently.

Do you want to force-restart the governor here ? Schedutil caches
cpuinfo.max_freq for the iowait stuff in sugov_start() [1]. I'm not sure
about the other governors.

And just removing sg_cpu->iowait_boost_max to use the cpuinfo struct
instead will conflict with [2], I think.

Thanks,
Quentin
