Returning a negative error code in a function with an unsigned
return type is a pretty bad idea. It is probably worse when the
justification for the change is "our static analisys tool found it".

With a later commit, the cpufreq core will call the -&gt;set_boost()
callback only if the policy supports boost frequency. The
boost_supported flag is set by the cpufreq core if policy-&gt;freq_table is
set and one or more boost frequencies are present.

For other drivers, the flag must be set explicitly.

With this, the local variable boost_supported isn't required anymore.

<title>cpufreq: CPPC: Fix wrong max_freq in policy initialization</title>

<content type='text'>
In policy initialization, policy-&gt;max and policy-&gt;cpuinfo.max_freq are
always set to the value calculated from caps-&gt;nominal_perf.

This will cause the frequency stay on base frequency even if the policy
is already boosted when a CPU is going online.

Fix this by using policy-&gt;boost_enabled to determine which value should
be set.

kthread_create() creates a kthread without running it yet. kthread_run()
creates a kthread and runs it.

On the other hand, kthread_create_worker() creates a kthread worker and
runs it.

This difference in behaviours is confusing. Also there is no way to
create a kthread worker and affine it using kthread_bind_mask() or
kthread_affine_preferred() before starting it.

Consolidate the behaviours and introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]()
that behaves just like kthread_run(). kthread_create_worker[_on_cpu]()
will now only create a kthread worker without starting it.

cppc_get_cpu_power() return 0 if the policy is NULL. Then in
em_create_perf_table(), the later zero check for power is not valid
as power is uninitialized. As Quentin pointed out, kernel energy model
core check the return value of active_power() first, so if the callback
failed it should tell the core. So return -EINVAL to fix it.
