In 5a31d594a973 ("cpufreq: Allow freq_table to be obtained for offline
CPUs") you did the opposite: don't use cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() because
it won't give you the policy of a cpu that is offline.  Now you are
arguing that we should go back to cpufreq_cpu_get() which implicitly
calls cpufreq_cpu_get_raw().  Won't we hit the same issue that
5a31d594a973 was trying to prevent: that we can't get a freq_table for
a cpu that is offline?

Cheers,
Javi
