If the BIOS sets a _PPC frequency limit upfront, it will fail to take
effect due to a call ordering issue. Namely, freq_qos_update_request()
is called before freq_qos_add_request() for the given request causing
the constraint update to be ignored. The call sequence in question is
as follows:
cpufreq_policy_online()
acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init()
acpi_processor_register_performance()
acpi_processor_get_performance_info()
acpi_processor_get_platform_limit()
freq_qos_update_request(&perflib_req) <- inactive QoS request
blocking_notifier_call_chain(&cpufreq_policy_notifier_list,
CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY)
acpi_processor_notifier()
acpi_processor_ppc_init()
freq_qos_add_request(&perflib_req) <- QoS request activation
Address this by adding an acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() call
to acpi_processor_ppc_init(), after the perflib_req activation via
freq_qos_add_request(), which causes the initial _PPC limit to be
picked up as appropriate. However, also ensure that the _PPC limit
will not be picked up in the cases when the cpufreq driver does not
call acpi_processor_register_performance() by adding a pr->performance
check to the related_cpus loop in acpi_processor_ppc_init().
