[PATCH] tools, cpupower Fix error condition in cmd_freq_set()

From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Fri Feb 07 2014 - 13:56:35 EST


On a system which has only 4.00GHz set as the only available frequency,

[root@amd-pike-05 ~]# cpupower frequency-info
<snip>
current policy: frequency should be within 4.00 GHz and 4.00 GHz.
The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
<snip>

setting the frequency to 2.8GHz does not return an error.

[root@amd-pike-05 ~]# cpupower frequency-set --freq 2800MHz
Setting cpu: 0
Setting cpu: 1
Setting cpu: 2
Setting cpu: 3
Setting cpu: 4
Setting cpu: 5
Setting cpu: 6
Setting cpu: 7
[root@amd-pike-05 ~]#

The frequency set error should stop with an error message after the first
failure. Fix the error return in cmd_freq_set() to read errors as less
than zero.
