Should it be policy->cpuinfo.max_freq instead of policy->max ?
Right. I'll fix the arm64 bits as well.

ok so you do that once with the 1st governor that will be registered
for the CPU. Can't you unregister the notifier then ?
I tried, but the only place I could find to unregister it is from the
callback itself; and it is not possible to do so AFAIK. Suggestions?
yes, you're right
Can't you queue a work to unregister your callback ?
You mean something like this? I guess I thought it would be much more
ugly. :)
Yes something like below.
quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
If it looks OK, I'll add the same for arm64 and test it a bit more.

you probably need to keep cap_parsing_done to prevent spurious
notification until the work is scheduled
