Thanks gautham for the review.
Good point, I have made the macros more generic in the next version as
you have mentioned.
I will post a separate patch to set pstates using these macros. :)

As fast_switch() may get called with interrupt disable mode, we cannot
hold a mutex to update the global_pstate_info. So currently, fast_switch()
does not update the global_pstate_info and it will end up with stale data
whenever pstate is updated through fast_switch().
As the gpstate_timer can fire after fast_switch() has updated the pstates,
the timer handler cannot rely on the cached values of local and global
pstate and needs to read it from the PMCR.
Only gpstate_timer_handler() is affected by the stale cached pstate data
beacause either fast_switch() or target_index() routines will be called
for a given govenor, but gpstate_timer can fire after the governor has
changed to schedutil.

Changes from v1 :
- Corrected Commit message
- Type cast pstate values read from PMCR to type s8
- Added Macros to get local and global pstates from PMCR
Thanks for this. Could you also send a (separate patch) to set the
local and global pstates to PMCR in set_pstate?

You define:
#define LPSTATE_SHIFT 48
#define GPSTATE_SHIFT 56
since we can use this in the set_variants.
Moreover, the LPSTATE, GPSTATE retreival is applicable to both PMCR and PMSR. So
could you rename these functions to GET_LPSTATE, GET_GPSTATE.
Similarly, we might want to have a SET_LPSTATE, SET_GPSTATE and fix
the hard coded values that we have in set_pstate.

Looks good otherwise.
