Description
When working on upgrading CUDA to 11.4, i found a new NVML error type is added NVML_ERROR_FREQ_NOT_SUPPORTED in here. When I was trying to figure out what does that error type mean, i found the comments in code is not right, since it just copy the comment of NVML_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES .
NVML_ERROR_VGPU_ECC_NOT_SUPPORTED = 22, //!< The requested vgpu operation is not available on target device, becasue ECC is enabled
NVML_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES = 23, //!< Ran out of critical resources, other than memory
NVML_ERROR_FREQ_NOT_SUPPORTED = 24, //!< Ran out of critical resources, other than memory
NVML_ERROR_UNKNOWN = 999 //!< An internal driver error occurredContributor guide

Research direction
Open src/nvml.h around the NVML_ERROR_FREQ_NOT_SUPPORTED entry at the linked line and compare its comment with the surrounding error definitions and the CUDA 11.4 NVML documentation. Done means the frequency-related error has an accurate comment rather than duplicating NVML_ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES.
