Yes agreed. I had tested this and you do see values for requested freq
which look correct even when actual freq is 0 even without taking
forcewake. That is why I ended up writing Patch 2/3.

However what I missed is what you pointed out that 0xa008 is a shadowed
register which cannot be read without taking forcewake. It is probably
returning the last value which was written to the shadowed write register.

As a result I have dropped the "drm/i915/rps: Expose
get_requested_frequency_fw for PMU" patch in v2 of this series.

Thanks.
