The dependency threshold designates a memory activity level below which CPU's frequency isn't accounted. Currently the threshold is given in "memory cycle" units and that value depends on the polling interval which is fixed to 12ms in the driver. Later on we'd want to add support for a variable polling interval and thus the threshold value either needs to be scaled in accordance to the polling interval or it needs to be represented in a units that do not depend on the polling interval. It is nicer to have threshold value being defined independently of the polling interval, thus this patch converts the dependency threshold units from "cycle" to "kHz". Having this change as a separate-preparatory patch will make easier to follow further patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
