Aren't we already at max_freq at this point (since an RT/DL task is
running)? Do we need to trigger a frequency update?
I think that's required to cover the first time we enter rt_mode in
order to jump to max OPP.

If we are already at max OPP, sugov_update_commit() will just bail out
without doing anything.
Indeed!

Best,

Juri
