Allow arch_freq_get_on_cpu to return an error for cases when retrieving
current CPU frequency is not possible, whether that being due to lack of
required arch support or due to other circumstances when the current
frequency cannot be determined at given point of time.

>= ?

Since we can return error now, 0 should be considered a valid
frequency value ?

Theoretically speaking - it should, though what would 0 actually
represent then ?

I would think the value of 0 would be valid and should be interpreted in a
product/architecture specific manner? From silicon behavior, to me only negative
frequency values wouldn't make any sense.

In Patch 1 of this series we interpret 0 as "Unknown" on a x86 system though. So
for the sake of consistency should we consider 0 a valid value everywhere?

0 won't be a failure, that's clear, since errors are represented
differently now. I am not sure what 0 frequency would mean and it can
be left as an architecture specific value, which is a corner case I am
not sure will ever occur.

Still not convinced as of when '0' could represent a valid frequency and what
that one would actually imply but I do not have that strong of an opinion here.

Yes, but on the other hand, showing 'Unknown' could be skipped entirely here as
the arch_freq_get_on_cpu for x86 is always providing a 'valid' frequency.
The change here was just to make things somewhat sane.
Note that the new attribute introduced in the following patch will utilise
potential error values from arch_freq_get_on_cpu though.

That would mean we are opting for presenting '0' value (whatever that means)
instead of trying alternative ways of getting 'current' frequency ?
This is still the scaling_cur_freq.

A return value of 0 should typically mean something went wrong
somewhere and didn't return the right value to us.

- For the print message, I think we should just print the value
  instead of UNKNOWN. Let the user / developer decide what to do with
  it.

- As for trying other mechanism to find the frequency now, maybe you
  are right and looking for an alternate way is the right way to go.
  And that would be consistent with existing behavior too.

Looks good to me.
