The conservative governor documentation incorrectly states that setting
freq_step to 0 will use the default 5% frequency step. In reality, since
at least commit
8e677ce83bf4 ("[CPUFREQ] conservative: fixup governor to
function more like ondemand logic"), freq_step=0 has always caused the
governor to skip frequency updates entirely.
Correct the documentation to reflect the actual behavior: freq_step=0
disables frequency changes by the governor entirely.

100 (5 by default).
This is how much the frequency is allowed to change in one go. Setting
- it to 0 will cause the default frequency step (5 percent) to be used
- and setting it to 100 effectively causes the governor to periodically
+ it to 0 disables frequency changes by the governor entirely and setting
+ it to 100 effectively causes the governor to periodically
switch the frequency between the ``scaling_min_freq`` and
``scaling_max_freq`` policy limits.
