[PATCH] PM / devfreq: Fix handling of min/max_freq == 0

[PATCH] PM / devfreq: Fix handling of min/max_freq == 0

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

Commit ab8f58ad72c4 ("PM / devfreq: Set min/max_freq when adding the
devfreq device") initializes df->min/max_freq with the min/max OPP when
the device is added. Later commit f1d981eaecf8 ("PM / devfreq: Use the
available min/max frequency") adds df->scaling_min/max_freq and the
following to the frequency adjustment code:

  max_freq = MIN(devfreq->scaling_max_freq, devfreq->max_freq);

With the current handling of min/max_freq this is incorrect:

Even though df->max_freq is now initialized to a value != 0 user space
can still set it to 0, in this case max_freq would be 0 instead of
df->scaling_max_freq as intended. In consequence the frequency adjustment
is not performed:

  if (max_freq && freq > max_freq) {
	freq = max_freq;

To fix this set df->min/max freq to the min/max OPP in max/max_freq_store,
when the user passes a value of 0. This also prevents df->max_freq from
being set below the min OPP when df->min_freq is 0, and similar for
min_freq. Since it is now guaranteed that df->min/max_freq can't be 0 the
checks for this case can be removed.

Hi,

Please resend the patch with related other patches.
It is hard to check the dependency/sequence of your patches.

The three patches (excluding the RFC) I sent in the past days are
independent from each other and can be applied individually in no
particular order.

I encountered and fixed the issues one after another, when I sent the
first or second patch I didn't know there would be another
one. Anyway, I'll resend as a series together with other patches,
unless some of the patches get applied before.

Thanks

Matthias
