[v2 PATCH] cpufreq: powernv: Correctly parse the sign of pstates on POWER8 vs POWER9

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

On POWERNV platform, Pstates are 8-bit values. On POWER8 they are
negatively numbered while on POWER9 they are positively
numbered. Thus, on POWER9, the maximum number of pstates could be as
high as 256.

The current code interprets pstates as a signed 8-bit value. This
causes a problem on POWER9 platforms which have more than 128 pstates.
On such systems, on a CPU that is in a lower pstate whose number is
greater than 128, querying the current pstate returns a "pstate X is
out of bound" error message and the current pstate is reported as the
nominal pstate.

This patch fixes the aforementioned issue by correctly differentiating
the sign whenever a pstate value read, depending on whether the
pstates are positively numbered or negatively numbered.

Fixes: commit 09ca4c9b5958 ("cpufreq: powernv: Replacing pstate_id with frequency table index")
