[CPUFREQ] document the currently undocumented parts of the sysfs interface
There is a description of some of the sysfs files. However, there are some that are not mentioned in the documentation, so add them to the user's guide. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Cc: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
