How is a user to know whether scaling_max_freq or cpu_freq_max takes priority ? Given the confusion we already have from users when the bios_limit enforces limits, giving them two knobs to do the same thing seems like a bad idea to me. I don't see what problem this is solving that you couldn't solve just by setting scaling_max_freq.
