Description
Frequency is not assigned in the cpuinfo_arm_inux_int function from the cpuinfo/src/arm/Linux/int. c file, causing the inability to obtain frequency through cpuinfo_cluster or cpuinfo_core. Is this intentional or is it missing?

Research direction
Start by inspecting cpuinfo/src/arm/Linux/int.c, especially the cpuinfo_arm_linux_int function, and trace how cpuinfo_cluster and cpuinfo_core obtain frequency. Determine whether the missing frequency assignment is intentional or a defect, then verify the expected frequency behavior through those APIs.
