Even though this form is accepted by the program, its proper name is
'--performance'.

cpufreq-info.c:
{"performance", no_argument, NULL, 'c'},

I would keep perf and also add performance since --perf and --performance
work - it is lot easier to type --perf

Get performances and frequencies capabilities of CPPC, by reading it from hardware (only available on the hardware with CPPC).
