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. Sorry!
