em_pd_get_higher_freq() returns a frequency greater or equal to the
provided one while taking into account a given cost margin. It also
skips inefficient OPPs that have a higher cost than another one with a
higher frequency.

The efficiency of an OPP is measured as efficiency=capacity/power.
OPPs with the same efficiency are assumed to be equivalent, since they
will consume as much energy for a given amount of work to do. That may
take more or less time depending on the frequency, but will consume the
same energy.

Why two blank lines?

Doesn't apply cleanly on v5.4-rc3. There seems to be a line missing?

Maybe you could mention in the header that this is the place where the
algorithm could be tuned. (even though it doesn't offer any tuning
interface, which is a good thing).

Maybe add a WARN_ONCE(1, "foobar"); here to indicate this unlikely event
(CPUfreq and EM framwork out of sync)?

I'm not sure what you mean, the patch "title" contains "em_pd_get_higher_freq()", should it
also mention where exactly inside the function the margin logic is implemented ?
