348 Read/write a frequency value in kHz from/to this file. This
349 file sets the maximum performance level (as frequency) at
350 which the platform may run. The frequency value is internally
351 converted to a performance value and must be in the range
352 [cpuinfo_min_freq, cpuinfo_max_freq], inclusive.

359 Description: Performance Limited

361 Read to check if platform throttling (thermal/power/current
362 limits) caused delivered performance to fall below the
363 requested level. A non-zero value indicates throttling occurred.
364
365 Write the bitmask of bits to clear:
366 1 = clear bit 0 (desired performance excursion)
367 2 = clear bit 1 (minimum performance excursion)
368 3 = clear both bits
369 The platform sets these bits; OSPM can only clear them.
