Subject: [PATCH V2] cpufreq: Add scaling frequency range support

From: Pan Xinhui <xinhuix.pan@...el.com>

Userspace at most time do cpufreq tests very much inconveniently.
Currently they have to echo min and max cpu freq separately like below:
echo 480000  > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 2240000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

Add scaling_freq_range cpufreq attr to support userspace's demand.
Therefore it's easier for testers to write readable scripts like below:
echo 480000-2240000 >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_freq_range

Change from V1:
	update cpu-freq documentation.

 If you have selected the "userspace" governor which allows you to
 set the CPU operating frequency to a specific value, you can read out
 the current frequency in
