Fixed in v2. In v2 I've changed the comment to say values are in "hw units"
and intel_gpu_freq() should be used to convert to MHz.
I have also added a couple of hopefully clarifying comments to
intel_rps_get_freq_caps() in v2. Some of the history of this code was not
clear to me previously and I had to trace all the way back to cee991cb9323
to figure out what is happening.
Thanks.
