Subject: [PATCH 0/3] cpufreq: schedutil: Fix 4.12 regressions

Hi Rafael,

I have identified some regressions with the schedutil governor which
happen due to one of your patches that got merged in 4.12-rc1.

This series fixes all the drivers which provide a ->target_index()
callback but doesn't fix the drivers which provide ->target() callback.

Such platforms need to implement the ->resolve_freq() callback in order
to get this fixed and I only had hardware for testing intel_pstate,
which I fixed in this series.

I am wondering if there is another way to fix this issue (than what I
tried) or if we should revert the offending commit (39b64aa1c007) and
look for other solutions.

Anyway, this series has the necessary patches to fix it.

Viresh Kumar (3):
  cpufreq: schedutil: Restore cached_raw_freq behavior
  cpufreq: schedutil: Fix selection algorithm while reducing frequency
  cpufreq: intel_pstate: Provide resolve_freq() to fix regression
