The name made perfect sense in the context of the original commit
a3c98b8b2ede ("PM: Introduce devfreq: generic DVFS framework with
device-specific OPPs"), where the field was indeed only used to
store the previous frequency. However the devfreq sub-system has
evolved in the past 8 years, and nowadays the use is different.

IMO it's a strong signal that over 85% of the users of the variable
use it in a way that doesn't match it's name, i.e. you read the code
and wonder 'why is it using the previous frequency here???'. Code
should be as self explanatory as possible, misleading variable
don't help with that.

Myungjoo, what do you think about the patch?
