Subject: Re: [PATCH] intel_pstate: Avoid pointless FRAC_BITS shifts under
 div_fp()

I proposed also to simplify the intel_pstate_calc_busy function:

     core_pct = int_tofp(sample->aperf) * int_tofp(100);
     core_pct = div64_u64(core_pct, int_tofp(sample->mperf));

is equivalent to:

     core_pct = sample->aperf * int_tofp(100);
     core_pct = div64_u64(core_pct, sample->mperf);

Regards,
Philippe,
