You are right, your suggestion expresses it more clearly.
I will change it in V2.

You mean the following fixes tag when the change was introduced?
Fixes: 0aa9abd4c212 ("cpufreq: imx6q: check speed grades for i.MX6ULL")
But if I'm right, then it goes down to version 4.19 and maybe the
commit 11a3b0ac33d9 ("cpufreq: imx6q: don't warn for disabling a non-existing frequency")
is also needed to easily apply.
