Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: brcmstb-avs-cpufreq: properly retrieve P-state upon suspend

From: Markus Mayer <mmayer@...adcom.com>

The AVS GET_PMAP command does return a P-state along with the P-map
information. However, that P-state is the initial P-state when the
P-map was first downloaded to AVS. It is *not* the current P-state.

Therefore, we explicitly retrieve the P-state using the GET_PSTATE
command.
