[PATCH] cpufreq: Honour transition_latency over transition_delay_us

From: Qais Yousef
Date: Tue Feb 27 2024 - 18:44:16 EST


Some platforms like Arm's Juno can have a high transition latency that
can be larger than the 2ms cap introduced. If a driver report
a transition_latency that is higher than the cap, then use it as-is.

Update comment s/10/2/ to reflect the new cap of 2ms.
