Please notice that this is more for frequency management, nothing related
to the UMD information that we expose in the ioctl queries.

Like every other sysfs interface, it doesn't actually matter what wrapper
ends up using it. In general they are for system administrators to tune
the hardware, so we just need to ensure that it makes sense, it is clean
and something we will be able to maintain long term without breaking
compatibility.
