Yeah - and that build bug was stupid too - when touching a generic file that is called include/linux/cpufreq.h and changing a key data field one should at minimum get the idea that it's generic for a reason and should start grepping the tree ... It slipped through because it didnt get caught in build tests because cpufreq isnt enabled in the powerpc defconfig. Ingo
