If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rafael J. Wysocki commit 56026645e2b6f11ede34a5e6ab69d3eb56f9c8fc upstream. After commit aa7519af450d (cpufreq: Use transition_delay_us for legacy governors as well) the sampling_rate field of struct dbs_data may be less than the tick period which causes dbs_update() to produce incorrect results, so make the code ensure that the value of that field will always be sufficiently large.
