What about intel_pstate / turbo stuff? IIRC one of Giovanni's issues was that turbo freq is not always reported as the max freq. Dunno if we can do anything about it; at the very least maybe document the caveat?Okay, I can add details in the description in regards to potential reasons to overwrite this function. But basically this is one of the reasons for making this a weak function. The best information we can generically get for maximum hardware frequency is cpuinfo.max_freq. But if platforms have the possibility to obtain this differently from either hardware or firmware they can overwrite this.
Right, that would be handled by a different implementation of that function, so this wasn't too relevant of a comment.
