From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> commit 99387b016022c29234c4ebf9abd34358c6e56532 upstream. Modify acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() to avoid updating its frequency QoS request when the _PPC return value has not changed by comparing that value to the previous _PPC return value stored in the performance_platform_limit field of the struct acpi_processor corresponding to the given CPU. While at it, do the _PPC return value check against the state count earlier, to avoid setting performance_platform_limit to an invalid value, and make acpi_processor_ppc_init() use FREQ_QOS_MAX_DEFAULT_VALUE as the "no limit" frequency QoS for consistency.
