hardware limits: 1.40 GHz - 4.37 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.80 GHz, 1.70 GHz, 1.40 GHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance, schedutil
current policy: frequency should be within 1.40 GHz and 1.80 GHz. The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1.70 GHz (asserted by call to hardware).
