i played a little bit with my Raspberry Pi Zero W and this series. Looks
fine so far.

Sorry for this nitpicking, but i expect user questions about the
differences between sysfs and vcgencmd measure_clock.

scaling_available_frequencies gives

699999 799999 899999 999999

but vcgencmd measure_clock return the rounded up values.

I know we shouldn't fake anything, but adding the OPPs rounded up may
avoid confusion.
