Subject: [RFT][PATCH 0/2] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Handle _PPC updates on global turbo disable/enable

Hi All,

This is how I would fix the issue reported in BZ 200759 (see this patch series
from Yu too: https://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=155137672924029&w=2).

Patch [1/2] causes intel_pstate to update all policies if it gets a _PPC change
notification and sees a global turbo disable/enable change.

Patch [2/2] makes it update cpuinfo.max_freq for all policies in those cases.

The patches here have not been tested yet, so testing would be much appreciated.

Of course, comments are welcome too!

Thanks,
Rafael
