[Feature Request]: cpufreq configuration
Which feature would you like to have?
Hi!
I just reinstalled the OS in the board that manages my 3d printer (an Orange Pi 3 LTS that is there to run Klipper...).
The older version of this tool used to have a very nice UI to configure cpufreq governor, min and max speed. This was a nice feature. I have been quite surrpised to see it gone.
It seems cpufreqd is not installed by default either. Is this why this new armbian-config script does not support this feature anymore?
I am mostly just curious as if it was removed on purpose, or just not added to this new version. And if that is the latter, is it possible to do so? I think the way these menus are scripted is not too too complicated, and I am potentially interested in adding the options after I figure out how it used to work thaks to the doc or the old repo maybe.

Previous method was dependent on cpufrequtils https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/cpufrequtils/cpufreq-info.1.en.html which hasn't been updated in ages and is considered deprecated.
Solution is this:
sudo apt install linux-cpupower
But for user friendliness, a service and some selection menus has to be added to the config.
