cpufreq/amd-pstate: Refactor max frequency calculation
The previous approach introduced roundoff errors during division when calculating the boost ratio. This, in turn, affected the maximum frequency calculation, often resulting in reporting lower frequency values. For example, on the Glinda SoC based board with the following parameters: max_perf = 208 nominal_perf = 100 nominal_freq = 2600 MHz The Linux kernel previously calculated the frequency as: freq = ((max_perf * 1024 / nominal_perf) * nominal_freq) / 1024 freq = 5405 MHz // Integer arithmetic. With the updated formula: freq = (max_perf * nominal_freq) / nominal_perf freq = 5408 MHz This change ensures more accurate frequency calculations by eliminating unnecessary shifts and divisions, thereby improving precision.
