power: handle frequency increase with turbo disabled
Checks
Commit Message
Calling pstate's or acpi's rte_power_freq_up() when on the highest
non-turbo frequency results in an error, if turbo is disabled. The
error is in the form of a return code and a RTE_LOG() entry on the ERR
level.
According to the API documentation, the frequency is scaled up
"according to the available frequencies". In case turbo is disabled,
that frequency is not available. This patch's rte_power_freq_up()
behaviour is also consistent with how rte_power_freq_max() is
implemented (i.e. the highest non-turbo frequency is set, in case
turbo is disabled).
Fixes: 445c6528b55f ("power: common interface for guest and host")
Fixes: e6c6dc0f96c8 ("power: add p-state driver compatibility")

Thanks for the patch, I can repeat the issue without the patch, and
after applying the patch, I no longer get the error message. So:

It might be worth clarifying in the commit message that "turbo
disabled"actually means "turbo enabled in the bios, but disabled via the
power library", but that's a small point.
