[ Upstream commit ee1f4a7daf ]
On POWERNV platform, the fields for pstates in the Power Management
Status Register (PMSR) and the Power Management Control Register
(PMCR) are 8-bits wide. On POWER8 the pstates are negatively numbered
while on POWER9 they are positively numbered.
The device-tree exports pstates as 32-bit entries. The device-tree
implementation sign-extends the 8-bit pstate values to obtain the
corresponding 32-bit entry.
Eg: On POWER8, a pstate value 0x82 [-126] is represented in the
device-tree as 0xfffffff82 while on POWER9, the same value 0x82 [130]
is represented in the device-tree as 0x00000082.
The powernv-cpufreq driver implementation represents pstates using the
integer type. In multiple places in the driver, the code interprets
the pstates extracted from the PMSR as a signed byte and assigns it to
a integer variable to get the sign-extention.
On POWER9 platforms which have greater than 128 pstates, this results
in the driver performing incorrect sign-extention, and thereby
treating a legitimate pstate (say 130) as an invalid pstates (since it
is interpreted as -126).
This patch fixes the issue by implementing a helper function to
extract Pstates from PMSR register, and correctly sign-extend it to be
consistent with the values provided by the device-tree.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
