Perry wanted nominal_freq to be in MHz since it is not exposed to the
user via any of the cpufreq sysfs interfaces.

IMO, it woyuld be good to to rename the variables to have their units
for better readability along with a bunch of other
cleanups/code deduplication. But can it be done separately ?

How about:

"cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut: Convert nominal_freq to khz during comparisons"

Otherwise the patch looks good to me.
