So if !is_auto_sel, min_perf and max_perf reg will be set to
lowest_nonlinear_perf and nominal_perf, but perf_ctrls.min_perf and
perf_ctrls.max_perf remain the old value. A little bit strange I think. And
when this happen, min_freq_req and max_freq_req will retain the value last
set by the users through min_perf and max_perf. It's that alright?

Better to return ret.

Since you already store auto_sel value in perf_ctrls, We can compare the
new value with perf_ctrls.auto_sel here, and just return if they are the
same.
