But even then the original check is much clearer since it is actually
comparing the fused freq's:

	if (slpc->min_freq == slpc->rp0_freq)

Because if min/max have been changed slpc_min_freq and slpc_max_freq are no
longer fused freq.

And also this check should be right at the top of run_test, right after if
(!intel_uc_uses_guc_slpc), rather than in the middle here (otherwise
because we are basically not doing any error rewinding so causing memory
leaks if any of the functions return error).

So let's do what is suggested above and then see what remains here and if
we need all these code changes. Most likely we can just do unconditionally
what we were doing before, i.e.:

	err = slpc_set_min_freq(slpc, slpc->min_freq);
	if (err)
		return err;

Why do we need saved_min_freq? We can retain slpc_min_freq and in the check below:

	if (max_act_freq <= slpc_min_freq)

We can just change the check to:

	if (max_act_freq <= slpc->min_freq)

Looks like to have been a bug in the original code?

This should be swapped around:

	if (!slpc->min_freq_softlimit && is_slpc_min_freq_rpmax(slpc))

So we should only have to call is_slpc_min_freq_rpmax if
slpc->min_freq_softlimit is 0 (that is only once the first time during
init).
