[PATCH] cpufreq: Update sscanf() to kstrtouint()

From: Bowen Yu
Date: Mon May 19 2025 - 03:15:06 EST


In store_scaling_setspeed(), sscanf is still used to read to sysfs.
Newer kstrtox provide more features including overflow protection,
better errorhandling and allows for other systems of numeration. It
is therefore better to update sscanf() to kstrtouint().
