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.
