I only looked at this single patch.

I got that impression from here:

+        user_para->scaling_max.freq             = sys_para->scaling_max.freq;
+        user_para->scaling_min.freq             = sys_para->scaling_min.freq;
+        user_para->scaling_max.pct              = sys_para->scaling_max.pct;
+        user_para->scaling_min.pct              = sys_para->scaling_min.pct;

So using union is OK, just the code is confusing.
