TBH, 'if (!ret)' style looks very strange to me.
We haven't done so anywhere in cppc_cpufreq, so let's keep consistency and make
it easier for people to read and maintain?
I agree it's a bit of a difficult read, that's why I only sent my code
as a suggestion. I did like the benefit of not having to have two
different calls to cppc_perf_to_khz() and making the code below common
for the error and non-error paths. But it's up to you. 
Yeah understood. I did try minimizing duplicate code, but ended up with either
duplicate 'get desired perf' stuff or duplicate cppc_perf_to_khz().

You need a check here for !delivered_perf (when at least one of the
deltas is 0) in which case it would be good to take the same error path
below. Something like:

            if(delivered_perf)
	            return cppc_perf_to_khz(&cpu_data->perf_caps, delivered_perf);
	    else
		ret = -EFAULT;

That's why I did the tricky if/else dance above as we need to take the
error path below for multiple cases.

Thanks,
Ionela.
Sure, thanks for reminding this.

How does this look? I think this should have the least duplicate code except for
two cppc_perf_to_khz() calls, while keeping the logic easy to follow.
