Is this then related to the 'medium pace system pressure' you mentioned
in your OSPM '23 talk?

               ^^^^^^^
IMHO, this is a copy & paste error from topology_update_thermal_pressure()?

max_freq seems to be uninitialized.

Is this x86 (turbo boost) specific? IMHO at arm we follow this max freq
(including boost) relates to 1024 in capacity? Or haven't we made this
discussion yet?
