[CPUFREQ] Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/cpufreq/ 

This is a complex interface and is already described in
Documentation/cpu-freq/, especially in the user-guide.txt file.

No need to copy/paste all that information. Let's just alert the reader
to the presence of the user-guide.

Description: Discover and change clock speed of CPUs
Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the
CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save battery
power, because the lower the clock speed, the less power
the CPU consumes.
There are many knobs to tweak in this directory.
See files in Documentation/cpu-freq/ for more information.
In particular, read Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt
to learn how to control the knobs.
