Is the "find" part really necessary in this name?

Shouldn't cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() simply return an error in this case?

Or do we know about any drivers having this problem potentially?

So what about making policy->freq_table_sorted an enum instead of using two
fields?

This is confusing.  A frequency beyond min..max is not invalid, it is out of
bounds.

After a successful cpufreq_table_validate_and_show() that should be impossible,
shouldn't it?

I still don't see a reason for min/max checking in these routines.

So what is the reason?

Can we actually get here?
