Isn't cpufrequtils considered deprecated?

Yes. This should be reworked.

Now, we "only" need a replacement service to read those files and set CPU.

Hi, Is there a ready tool to set min/max cpu frequency. Is it still in testing status? very useful option that was once available.

cpufreq which we used before, is deprecated / eol. This here is an replacement attempt. I am sure there must be several options but it would be best to keep this as minimal as this POC. You are welcome to try to implement it. This might help https://docs.armbian.com/Contribute/Armbian-config/
