IMO variable renaming doesn't seem necessary, if cpufreq uses kHz then
in a cpufreq driver adding 'kHz' to variable seems redundant, especially
if Hz values like freq_Hz above are named especially to signal their
different units. However, if renaming is going to happen it should at
least be consistent within the same function i.e. also rename the old
old_rate variable above.

Ditto. Rename these too to add '_kHz' ?

There's a spurious whitespace change here. I know the space you deleted
shouldn't have been there, but doing tidyups like that generally isn't
done in patches that don't otherwise affect the code in question.
