Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Always return last EPP value from sysfs

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

Make the energy_performance_preference policy attribute in sysfs
always return the last EPP value written to it instead of the one
currently in the HWP Request MSR to avoid possible confusion when
the performance scaling algorithm is used in the active mode with
HWP enabled (in which case the EPP is forced to 0 regardless of
what value it has been set to via sysfs).
