You can simplify the arguments to rr_numerator and rr_denominator. Skip 
vrefresh.

Better to use strlen so that we don't send out any garbage to kernel.

Also what is the policy regarding using intel specific debugfs in lib?
Should there be a wrapper to abstract it?

This helper seems to be only relevant to CMRR for now. So better to move 
it to the test file? Do you see it being used elsewhere?

You can rename it to target_refresh_rate_supported.

move these macros and enums out to the test file.
