Agreed and understood.

Just trying to understand if that matters. freq is in kHz as copied
from policy->freq_table[index].frequency and we compare it with
kHZ below as the obtained clock rate is divided by 1000. What am I
missing ? If it helps, it can be renamed as freq_in_khz and even keep
it as "unsigned int" as in struct cpufreq_frequency_table.
