The commit text should explain the why you are doing this.

Again, why? It actually seems wrong. A 4 core cluster could come up with 
just 2 cores when the policy is added. But the related CPUs would be 4 CPUs.

Firstly, the patch hasn't changed anything at all. related_cpus was
empty until this point, and orring or setting it with ->cpus will
result in the same output.

Secondly, this is what we always wanted. related_cpus should contain
the mask of all possible CPUs for that cluster.

I was under the impression that the CPUfreq drivers were expected to 
fill in related_cpus and the or-ing was a safety net. If that's not the 
case, then this change is fine.

I think the confusion was that I thought the drivers are supposed to do 
this. If this doesn't mess up other CPUfreq drivers that I'm not 
familiar with, then I don't have concerns.

Can you still explain the why in the commit text though? If it's just 
that related_cpus is always empty and copying is more efficient than 
or-ing, then mention that?

Thanks,
Saravana
