Subject: [PATCH 16/16] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Eliminate intel_pstate_get_min_max()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Some computations in intel_pstate_get_min_max() are not necessary
and one of its two callers doesn't even use the full result.

First off, the fixed-point value of cpu->max_perf represents a
non-negative number between 0 and 1 inclusive and cpu->min_perf
cannot be greater than cpu->max_perf.  It is not necessary to check
those conditions every time the numbers in question are used.

Moreover, since intel_pstate_max_within_limits() only needs the
upper boundary, it doesn't make sense to compute the lower one in
there and returning min and max from intel_pstate_get_min_max()
via pointers doesn't look particularly nice.

For the above reasons, drop intel_pstate_get_min_max(), add a helper
to get the base P-state for min/max computations and carry out them
directly in the previous callers of intel_pstate_get_min_max().
