Closes: #2717
Some CPS devices report frequency off by a factor of 10 (also in the vendor's own
pwrstat
tool) as e.g.499.0
. This PR should try to detect the scaling range and adjust the reading.EDUCATED GUESS: Probably the underlying problem is a yet another mis-use of USB HID report format, with an interim change to reporting in 0.1HZ units in some firmwares, but not updating the exponent in the report.
