This is a complex interface and is already described in
Documentation/cpu-freq/, especially in the user-guide.txt file.

No need to copy/paste all that information. Let's just alert the reader
to the presence of the user-guide.

+Description:   Discover and change clock speed of CPUs
+
+               Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the
+               CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save battery
+               power, because the lower the clock speed, the less power
+               the CPU consumes.
+
+               There are many knobs to tweak in this directory.
+
+               See files in Documentation/cpu-freq/ for more information.
+
+               In particular, read Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt
+               to learn how to control the knobs.
