Hi Rafael,

This series fixes all cpufreq drivers that provide a 'target_index'
callback or in other words, which provide a freq-table to cpufreq core,
to make sure they *only* use the 'index' argument to ->target_index()
with the policy->freq_table.

This change allows us to remove the (duplicate) sorted-freq-table, which
was added by following series:

[PATCH V2 0/2] cpufreq: Use sorted frequency tables

Which I'm not going to apply.

If this series depended on that one, please rework it.

Hi Rafael,

The first 9 patches can be applied without any dependency
on the earlier series, but not the last two.

The target of this series is to make freq-table lookup faster
and so most of its patches would make sense only if we
are trying to solve that problem. Otherwise they may not
be required at all.

I hope that you will be replying to the earlier series [1] as well,
to convey the concerns you have with it.

Thanks
