You may want to use a "visited" cpumask as I suggested in the previous
thread, since a policy can cover more than one CPU (IOW, a frequency domain
can span more than one CPU). It's not required per-se, AFAICT, but it makes
things a bit neater.

I also think you'll have to use the affinity notifier
(irq_set_affinity_notifier()), since AFAICT userspace can change the
affinity of that IRQ. I suppose you'll want something like:
- Check if we currently are in streaming mode
- Clear the QoS request for CPUs that were previously boosted but that
  aren't in the new mask
- Add the request for the new CPUs.

You'll probably need serialize the reading of the mask in the regular
dcmi_set_min_frequency() as well. I concur all of that is somewhat
annoying, but AFAICT that's required for a sturdy implementation.
