Description:

Attempting to set CPU max frequency fails at boot fails in "/etc/conf.d/cpupower". However, running the script "/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/cpupower" in user space works (with root privilege) works.

Additional info:
Package : cpupower 3.7-3

cat /etc/conf.d/cpupower :
# Define CPUs governor
# valid governors: ondemand, performance, powersave, conservative, userspace.
#governor='ondemand'

# Limit frequency range
# Valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz
#min_freq="2.25GHz"
#max_freq="3GHz"
max_freq="1.05GHz"

# Specific frequency to be set.
# Requires userspace governor to be available.
# Do not set governor field if you use this one.
#freq=

# Utilizes cores in one processor package/socket first before processes are
# scheduled to other processor packages/sockets.
# See man (1) CPUPOWER-SET for additional details.
#mc_scheduler=

# Utilizes thread siblings of one processor core first before processes are
# scheduled to other cores. See man (1) CPUPOWER-SET for additional details.
#smp_scheduler=

# Sets a register on supported Intel processore which allows software to convey
# its policy for the relative importance of performance versus energy savings to

Steps to reproduce:

Set the max frequency in "/etc/conf.d/cpupower". Reboot, and it the output of "$ cpupower frequency-info" indicates the max frequency was not started.
