[PATCH v2 1/1] cpufreq: fix the target freq not in the range of policy->min & max

[TungChen Shih <tung-chen.shih@mediatek.com>]

    The function cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() should return the lowest
supported freq greater than or equal to the given target_freq, subject
to policy (min/max) and driver limitations. However, the index returned
by cpufreq_frequency_table_target() won't subject to policy min/max in
some cases.

    In cpufreq_frequency_table_target(), this function will try to find
an index for @target_freq in freq_table, and the frequency of selected
index should be in the range [policy->min, policy->max], which means:

    policy->min <= policy->freq_table[idx].frequency <= policy->max

    Though "clamp_val(target_freq, policy->min, policy->max);" would
have been called to check this condition, when policy->max or min is
not exactly one of the frequency in the frequency table,
policy->freq_table[idx].frequency may still go out of the range

    For example, if our sorted freq_table is [3000, 2000, 1000], and
suppose we have:

    @target_freq = 2500
    @policy->min = 2000
    @policy->max = 2200
    @relation = CPUFREQ_RELATION_L

1. After clamp_val(target_freq, policy->min, policy->max); @target_freq
becomes 2200
2. Since we use CPUFREQ_REALTION_L, final selected freq will be 3000 which
beyonds policy->max
