Hello everyone,

I submitted a simple SWIG Python implementation for 6.12-rc1 for the Linux
kernel's cpupower utility that was developed with 4.2.1. SWIG is now used
in the Linux kernel for a user-space utility.

I ran the test script on my locally compiled 4.3.0-beta1. No issues as far
as I can tell at this point with Fedora 40 and Python 3.12.6.

The current version of this simple test script (test_raw_pylibcpupower.py
<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux.git/tree/tools=
/power/cpupower/bindings/python/test_raw_pylibcpupower.py?h=3Dcpupower>)
I used is at:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux.git/tree/tools/=
power/cpupower/bindings/python?h=3Dcpupower

Thank you for your work on SWIG.

P.S.
We had to use the .swg file extension because the kernel uses .i for
something else and it is gitignored.
