Actually, I have double checked that, because we always used this
terminology: low OPP, high OPP, lower OPPs, higher OPPs. I can change
it here for you, but I think this is not something that people are used
to. Please check EAS pdf documentation or this file:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/scheduler/sched-energy.txt
i.e. "running at a lower OPP" or "high OPPs", "lowest OPPs".
