That's because of the way P-state limits in the turbo range are
handled by the given processor.

Some of them restrict the P-state even if the limit is located within
the turbo range and some of them don't (that is, requesting any
P-state in the turbo range gives the processor a license to use the
whole of it).

The problem is that acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() sets the limit
to the frequency for all of the _PSS states including the last special
one and it should update the QoS to "no limit" in that case.
