val can probably just be u8. max_freq, min_freq, etc. are only u8 in
struct intel_rps *rps.

Using u32 is consistent with all the other _store functions in the file
and changing it would also mean changing the kstrtou32 call below. I'd
rather this function stay consistent with the min/max/boost frequency
functions.  Changing to u8 would be a separate change and should be
applied to all the similar functions.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I recently joined the team, so not sure if you would like someone else
to review as well.

This should probably be clamped to u8 instead of int.

Similar to above, this is consistent with the other similar functions.
