cpufreq: scmi: correct SCMI explanation

[ Upstream commit 8c376f337a7e31c42949247e24eaad9a30d6c62c ]

SCMI stands for System Control and Management Interface, not System Control and Power Interface -- apparently, Sudeep Holla copied this line from his SCPI driver and then just forgot to update the acronym explanation... :-)

Is the comment fix really worth pushing to stable? (I thought they were going
to remove the Fixes tag before applying...)
