That said, how about the below? It avoids a function call.

That is fine by me.

What about taking it a bit further, though, and moving the definition
of cpufreq_update_util_data to somewhere under kernel/sched/ (like
kernel/sched/cpufreq.c maybe)?

Then, the whole static inline void cpufreq_update_util() definition
can go into kernel/sched/sched.h (it doesn't have to be visible
anywhere beyond kernel/sched/) and the only thing that needs to be
exported to cpufreq will be a helper (or two), to set/clear the
cpufreq_update_util_data pointers.

I'll try to cut a patch doing that later today for illustration.

Right, that's a blend with your second patch. Sure.
