Actually, according to reference time of the 'df->previous_freq',
'previous_freq' is proper or 'cur_freq is proper.
But, In the comment of 'struct devfreq',
it means the configured time as following:
* @previous_freq: previously configured frequency value.
I think that it it not big problem to keep the name.
