I started from the premise that it should always drop to idle but
that's just not the case.  The min_max_config() function is used for
both the idle and loaded subtests.  If you try to check for freq=idle
when doing the loaded subtest it will fail since it never goes idle.
Even in the idle subtest there are cases where it doesn't drop down to
idle. 

I suppose I could duplicate min_max_config and have a
min_max_config_idle() and min_max_conifg_not_idle() for use by the
different subtests. 

The real problem is that the test was not designed to handle the case
where the freq could drop below min and probably needs to be
re-designed.  I've been trying to find a quick fix vs. a complete
overhaul as this isn't really a priority for me.
