Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] AMD Pstate driver fixes
1. Handle the nominal freq units inconsistency in amd-pstate-ut, which was
leading to the below error on inserting the amd-pstate-ut module.
[ 4982.498864] amd_pstate_ut: 1 amd_pstate_ut_acpi_cpc_valid success!
[ 4982.498873] amd_pstate_ut: 2 amd_pstate_ut_check_enabled success!
[ 4982.509151] amd_pstate_ut: 3 amd_pstate_ut_check_perf success!
[ 4982.509155] amd_pstate_ut: amd_pstate_ut_check_freq cpu0 max=3709000 >= nominal=2401 > lowest_nonlinear=1903000 > min=400000 > 0, the formula is incorrect!
[ 4982.509157] amd_pstate_ut: 4 amd_pstate_ut_check_freq fail!
2. Setting the scaling_max_freq on shared memory CPPC systems was
broken in amd-pstate-epp driver(amd_pstate=active mode). The
scaling_max_freq value was not being propagated to the shared memory area,
so the frequency capping was not being honored.
Tested on a AMD Zen3 Milan machine(shared memory CPPC):
stress-ng is running on the system to keep the CPU utilization at 100%
to test the scaling_max_freq capping.
Before the patch:
We can see below, setting the scaling_max_freq is not taking effect.

After applying the patch:
On setting scaling_max_freq at 2GHz, the CPU frequency gets capped at 2GHz.
