Many drivers keep frequencies in frequency table in ascending or descending order. When governor tries to change to policy->min or policy->max respectively then the cpufreq_frequency_table_target could return on first iteration. This will save some iteration cycles. So, break out early when a frequency in cpufreq_frequency_table equals to target one. Testing this during kernel compilation using ondemand governor with a frequency table in ascending order, the cpufreq_frequency_table_target returned early on the first iteration at about 30% of times called.
