Subject: cpufreq/amd-pstate: Cache the max frequency in cpudata
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8cdc494013dfcd48f31eafe19b18fd67c224dd8a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

cpufreq/amd-pstate: Cache the max frequency in cpudata

The value of maximum frequency is fixed and never changes. Doing
calculations every time based off of perf is unnecessary.
