For example, hardware may return 499 MHz instead of 500 MHz. In such cases it is better to avoid getting into unnecessary frequency updates, as we may end up switching policy->cur between the two and sending unnecessary pre/post update notifications, etc. This patch has chosen allows the hardware frequency and table frequency to deviate by 1 MHz for now, we may want to increase it a bit later on if someone still complains.
