Hi Viresh,
Hi Guys,

Joonas reported a lockdep between cpufreq and intel-pstate driver and
we are looking for probable solutions.

I failed to understand why should we run intel_pstate_hwp_set() for
each online CPU, while the frequency is changed only for a group of
CPUs that belong to a policy. 
Don't need from set_policy interface. 
Ofcourse intel_pstate_hwp_set() is
required to be run for all CPUs, while the sysfs files are touched.
And so, do we have a problem with below diff?
I gave a quick test, the change works fine.

Thanks,
Srinivas
