What is the reason for backporting this patch ? This patch belongs to a larger patchset and I haven't seen all other ones queued as well. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231211104855.558096-1-vincent.guittot@xxxxxxxxxx/ Furthermore, there is a fix going one that has been queued for next v6.8-rc https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240117190545.596057-1-vincent.guittot@xxxxxxxxxx/ All this to say that I'm not sure this patch is a good candidate for being backported in v6.6 or v6.7 > > > > commit b84e7f7bcc91d2815e2ce356dc4211c904eff4a9 > Author: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@xxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Mon Dec 11 11:48:49 2023 +0100 > > sched/topology: Add a new arch_scale_freq_ref() method > > [ Upstream commit 9942cb22ea458c34fa17b73d143ea32d4df1caca ] > > Create a new method to get a unique and fixed max frequency.
