Yeah, this was a suggestion as we didn't really know how the FW part
would evolve by that time.

The reasoning is to allow any interested user (in kernel) to be
notified when max frequency changes. Actually, the use case behind
this is to allow such users to perform some handshaking or stop their
activities or even change some paramenters, in case the max frequency
would change. Ideally it would be possible to nack the cooling
transition. But that is yet a wider discussion. So far we don't have
users for this.
