Yeah.. Just a bit though :)

So, cpufreq core checks this when we call target for any frequency.
Now, cpufreq driver actually does a cpufreq_frequency_table_target()
and so the frequency may vary than what is requested, in case
requested frequency isn't picked from the table.

In such cases we check it again to be sure that we aren't at this
frequency already..

Earlier I thought of calling cpufreq_frequency_table_target() in the
core before calling target but dropped the idea as I wasn't sure of
the side effects.

@Rafael: Do you see why we shouldn't/can't call
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() from the core itself and so drivers
never need to do it?
