Note that these values could be zeroed if the notification is good but
the range_min/range_max values could NOT be mapped to a frequency
equivalent (due to some FW errors).

I would probably have to add a warn about this error in the core SCMI
notification path (or drop the notif as a whole); if not here you could
end-up just setting max/min to 0 if the fw has messed up the
notification range_min/range_max.

Or is it just that, especially max_feq = 0 is NOT plausible value and you
will need anyway to check it here ?

FWIW, regarding the SCMI bits.

LGTM.
