Changes in v2:
- Instead of modifying the documentation to say that variation in frequency is
possible despite setting scaling_setspeed, add the CPUFREQ_GOV_STRICT_TARGET
flag to the userspace governor to make its behaviour match the expectation when
used with the intel_pstate driver with HWP enabled
- Mention in the documentation that variation in frequency due to hardware
factors is possible
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250522-userspace-governor-doc-v1-1-c8a038e39084@sony.com
