Sure.

You still need these checks, otherwise you could end up with only part
of the CPUs setting a scale factor, when only part of the CPUs support
AMUs and there is no cpufreq support for FIE.

Both supports_scale_freq_counters() and topology_scale_freq_invariant() take
care of this now and they will keep reporting the system as invariant until the
time all the CPUs have counters (in absence of cpufreq).

The topology_set_scale_freq_source() API is supposed to be called multiple
times, probably once for each policy and so I don't see a need of these checks
anymore.

Small(ish) optimisation at the beginning of this function:

    if (cpumask_empty(&scale_freq_counters_mask))
        scale_freq_invariant = topology_scale_freq_invariant();

This will save you a call to rebuild_sched_domains_energy(), which is
quite expensive, when cpufreq supports FIE and we also have counters.

Good Point.

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly did you test and what was the setup ? :)
