Subject: cpufreq: powernv: Dont assume distinct pstate values for nominal and pmin

From: Shilpasri G Bhat <shilpa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 3fa4680b860bf48b437d6a2c039789c4abe202ae upstream.

Some OpenPOWER boxes can have same pstate values for nominal and
pmin pstates. In these boxes the current code will not initialize
'powernv_pstate_info.min' variable and result in erroneous CPU
frequency reporting. This patch fixes this problem.
