Can we call cpufreq_find_index_l directly here? Seems like we could
phase out cpufreq_frequency_table_target() for the most part and call
the helpers directly. It would avoid some code bloat, an unnecessary
switch statement and an error check for an invalid frequency table which
seems unnecessary for every frequency table lookup.
