Right so the problem does exist, and not only with
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq(), but __cpufreq_driver_target() as well.
I have a sent a patchset to update both of these to start sharing some
code and we need to fix this for both now.

This doesn't look clean to be honest.
Rafael, does it make sense to update cpufreq_frequency_table_target()
(and its internal routines) to take policy bounds in consideration, or
something else ?
