commit 99387b016022c29234c4ebf9abd34358c6e56532 upstream. Modify acpi_processor_get_platform_limit() to avoid updating its frequency QoS request when the _PPC return value has not changed by comparing that value to the previous _PPC return value stored in the performance_platform_limit field of the struct acpi_processor corresponding to the given CPU. While at it, do the _PPC return value check against the state count earlier, to avoid setting performance_platform_limit to an invalid value, and make acpi_processor_ppc_init() use FREQ_QOS_MAX_DEFAULT_VALUE as the "no limit" frequency QoS for consistency.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
