Viresh, this series works fine on my quick tests so far. BTW, I noticed some strange things even with the series applied mentioned below when reading acpi_cppc vs cpufreq sysfs. Do you happen to know are those just hardware/firmware issues because Linux just faithfully exported the register values?

== Arm64 server Foo ==
CPU max MHz: 3000.0000
CPU min MHz: 1000.0000

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/highest_perf
300
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/lowest_freq
1000
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/lowest_nonlinear_perf
200
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/lowest_perf
100
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/nominal_freq <--- should be 3000?
2800
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/nominal_perf <--- should be 300?
280
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/reference_perf
100

== Arm64 server Bar ==
CPU max MHz: 3000.0000
CPU min MHz: 375.0000

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/highest_perf <--- should be 3000? There is no cpufreq boost.
3300
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/acpi_cppc/lowest_freq <--- don't understand why 0.
