The current frequency passed to arch_set_freq_scale() could end up
being 0, signaling an error in setting a new frequency. Also, if the
maximum frequency in 0, this will result in a division by 0 error.

Therefore, validate these input values before using them for the
setting of the frequency scale factor.

We should probably use unlikely() here.

Rafael: Shouldn't this have a WARN_ON_ONCE() as well ?

I'll add the unlikely() as it's definitely useful.

I'm somewhat on the fence about WARN_ON_ONCE() here. Wouldn't it work
better in cpufreq_driver_fast_switch()? It would cover scenarios where
the default arch_set_freq_scale() is used and flag potential hardware
issues with setting frequency that are currently just ignored both here
and in sugov_fast_switch().

Thanks,
Ionela.

I think validation and the WARN (if required) must all happen at the
same place. Considering that there can be many callers of a routine,
like this one, it is better to put all that in the end function only.

Maybe we can add the same in the dummy arch_set_freq_scale() if
required.
