The CPU rate from clk_get_rate() may not be divisible by 1000
(e.g., 133333333). But the rate calculated from frequency is always
divisible by 1000 (e.g., 133333000).
Comparing the rate causes a warning during CPU scaling:
"cpufreq: __target_index: Failed to change cpu frequency: -5".
When we choose to compare frequency here, the issue does not occur.

policy->freq_table[index].frequency is a u32 so in this original
calculation, even though "rate" is declared as a u64, it can't actually
be more than UINT_MAX.

So you've fixed this by casting policy->freq_table[index].frequency
to unsigned long, which fixes the problem on 64bit systems but it still
remains on 32bit systems.  It would be better to declare freq as a u64.

We keep fixing and then breaking this as undocumented parts of larger
patches.  :P  It should really be done by itself and the Fixes tag would
point to:
Fixes: 1a0419b0db46 ("cpufreq: move invariance setter calls in cpufreq core")

Sure, I don't know this code well but your commit message seems reasonable.
Add a Fixes tag for this line.

Fixes: 343a8d17fa8d ("cpufreq: scpi: remove arm_big_little dependency")

Just trying to understand if that matters. freq is in kHz as copied
from policy->freq_table[index].frequency and we compare it with
kHZ below as the obtained clock rate is divided by 1000. What am I
missing ? If it helps, it can be renamed as freq_in_khz and even keep
it as "unsigned int" as in struct cpufreq_frequency_table.

I misunderstood the integer overflow bug because I read too much into the
fact that "rate" was declared as a u64.  It would have been fine to
declare it as a unsigned long.  The cpufreq internals don't support
anything more than ULONG_MAX.  I have heard someone say that new systems
are bumping up against the 4GHz limit but presumably that would only be
high end 64bit systems, not old 32bit system.

The ->freq_table[] frequency is in kHz so a u32 is fine.  I guess if we
get frequencies of a THz then we'll have to update that.  But when we
convert to Hz then we need a cast to avoid an integer overflow for systems
which are over the 4GHz boundary.

	unsigned long rate = (unsigned long)khz * 1000;

The second bug is that we need to compare kHz instead of Hz and that's
straight forward.

Thank you for your valuable feedback.I will make the changes to the patch and 
resubmit it, including renaming freq and keeping it as an "unsigned int".

If you keep it as unsigned int then you will need to add a cast when you
do the "* 1000" multiplication.  Please make freq and rate both unsigned
longs.
