[PATCH 1/2] PPC frequency change issues

[Thomas Renninger <mail@renninger.de>]

Author: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de>

BIOS might change frequency behind our back
when BIOS changes allowed frequencies via _PPC
in this case cpufreq core got out of sync.
-> ask driver for current freq and notify
   governors about a change
