Wrong frequency reading with kernel 5.16.0 (update: was psutil 5.9.0, not kernel)

[sebastianha]

Step 1: Describe your environment

• System (Intel/AMD/Raspberry Pi etc): Opensuse Tumbleweed, kernel 5.16.0
• OS version: Tumbleweed 2022-01-14
• s-tui version: 1.1.3
• Installation method(pip/PPA/source code): rpm, official source

Step 2: Describe the problem:

Observed Results:

• After updating to latest packages, including latest kernel (5.16.0) the frequency reading seem to be wrong and GHz are interpreted as MHz:

cpuinfo

processor       : 6
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 140
model name      : 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz
stepping        : 1
microcode       : 0x9c
cpu MHz         : 1800.000

Step 3: Reproduce the problem:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Update kernel
2. start s-tui

[sebastianha]

Might be a problem with psutils?

>>> psutil.cpu_freq()
scpufreq(current=2.017125, min=400.0, max=4800.0)

My psutil version is: python38-psutil, 5.9.0-1.1

[sebastianha]

...and here is the corresponding issue, so an update of psutils is needed: giampaolo/psutil#2049

Introduced in 5.9.0, fixed in 5.9.1.
