This is stabe 5.15.0 tree with ~72 (including your 6 patches on top 
(including the below as a patch).  You can find it at 
https://github.com/steev/linux/commits/linux-5.15.y - the vast majority 
are just various fixups for sdm845/sdm850 for the Lenovo Yoga (or crypto 
since I'd like to see the crypto unit working).

I did grep through my logs and it appears that this started after I 
moved from v2 to v3 - I'd tested v2 and it didn't show this.

Applying this to the above kernel.. will test...

In taking a look at cpufreq-info, one thing I noticed is that even 
though I have 1 in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost, I am *never* 
hitting the 2.96GHz now

cpufreq stats: 826 MHz:59.14%, 902 MHz:0.15%, 979 MHz:0.18%, 1.06 
GHz:0.11%, 1.21 GHz:0.49%, 1.29 GHz:0.26%, 1.36 GHz:0.12%, 1.46 
GHz:0.23%, 1.54 GHz:0.10%, 1.61 GHz:0.14%, 1.69 GHz:0.09%, 1.77 
GHz:0.28%, 1.84 GHz:0.64%, 1.92 GHz:0.23%, 2.00 GHz:0.05%, 2.09 
GHz:0.05%, 2.17 GHz:0.03%, 2.25 GHz:0.03%, 2.32 GHz:0.03%, 2.40 
GHz:0.03%, 2.48 GHz:0.02%, 2.55 GHz:0.02%, 2.65 GHz:0.03%, 2.75 
GHz:0.03%, 2.84 GHz:37.53%, 2.96 GHz:0.00%  (20854)

Aaaand it looks like that is part of the deal - with your patch from 
above applied, we get:

[   22.487268] THERMAL_PRESSURE: max_freq(2841) < capped_freq(2956) for 
CPUs [4-7]
[   22.487313] THERMAL_PRESSURE: max_freq(2841) < capped_freq(2956) for 
CPUs [4-7]
[   22.508642] THERMAL_PRESSURE: max_freq(2841) < capped_freq(2956) for 
CPUs [4-7]
[   22.552273] THERMAL_PRESSURE: max_freq(2841) < capped_freq(2956) for 
CPUs [4-7]

So, we're not able to hit boost frequencies with this applied?

Thank you for the fast response!
