Hi Steve,

Does your system have enough load to hit the boost frequencies ? I don't 
think this patch should affect hitting boost frequencies as there is no 
error being returned from topology_update_thermal_pressure.

The warning you are getting is because you have boost frequency enabled 
and IIUC lmh enabled and thermal pressure framework bails out due to 
boost_frequency being greater than what is available in per_cpu 
freq_factor. This is because we do not recalculate freq_factor every 
time boost is enabled / disabled. IIRC there were some discussions 
around rebuilding scheduler domains and capacity with user space changes 
to max frequency but it has never proceeded much. Till that point, I 
think the right way, is to check whether the new capcity exceeds the 
max_capacity of the cpu and if yes use max_capacity in lieu of 
new_capacity to calculate thermal pressure.
