Not really, we will update freq periodically nevertheless, around
every 10ms or something..
And do the update if need_freq_update is set.
Yeah, that breaks the periodic cycle to attend to some urgent request.
Note that there are unnecessary fast switch check and spin lock/unlock
operations in freq skip path.
Maybe, I am not sure. We are all up for optimizations if there are
any.
If we consider unnecessary behaviors above, then we should return right
away rather than continue to execute following code.
As I said earlier, we may end up updating the frequency even if
need_freq_update is unset.
