Subject: [PATCH v2] cpufreq/amd-pstate: Cache the max frequency in cpudata
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 23:32:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323043253.722730-1-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)
The value of maximum frequency is fixed and never changes. Doing
calculations every time based off of perf is unnecessary.
Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello (AMD) <superm1@kernel.org>

v2:
* Remove unused variable
