cpufreq: userspace: make scaling_setspeed return the actual requested frequency
According to the Linux kernel ABI documentation for 'scaling_setspeed': "It returns the last frequency requested by the governor (in kHz) or can be written to in order to set a new frequency for the policy." However, the current implementation of show_speed() returns 'policy->cur'. 'policy->cur' represents the frequency after the driver has resolved the request against the hardware frequency table and applied policy limits (min/max). This creates a discrepancy between the documentation/user expectation and the actual code behavior. For instance: 1. User writes a value to 'scaling_setspeed' that is not in the OPP table (e.g., user asks for A, driver rounds it to B). 2. User reads 'scaling_setspeed'. 3. Code returns B ('policy->cur'). 4. User expects A (the "frequency requested"), but gets B. This patch changes show_speed() to return 'userspace->setspeed', which stores the actual value last requested by the user. This restores the read/write symmetry of the attribute and aligns the code with the ABI description. The effective frequency can still be observed via 'scaling_cur_freq' or 'cpuinfo_cur_freq', preserving the distinction between "what was requested" (setspeed) and "what is effective" (cur_freq).
