use_efficient_freq() ?

Shouldn't this be:

parse_rp_state_cap()
  {
  ...
  dev_priv->rps.efficient_freq = rps_rpe_freq(dev_priv);
  ...
  }


static in rps_rpe_freq(dev_priv) 
  {
	/* By default, prefer the nominal frequency for efficiency */
	int rpe = dev_priv->rps.rp1_freq;

	if (INTEL_GEN(dev_priv) >= 8 || IS_HASWELL(dev_priv)) {
		u32 ddcc_status = 0;
		int ret;

		/* Some useful and informative comment */
		if (sandybridge_pcode_read(dev_priv,
					   HSW_PCODE_DYNAMIC_DUTY_CYCLE_CONTROL,
					   &ddcc_status) == 0)
			rpe = (ddcc_status >> 8) & 0xff;
	}

	return rpe;
  }
