Your checking seems to be flawed.

drivers/video/sa1100fb.c:               cpufreq_get(smp_processor_id()));
drivers/video/sa1100fb.c:       pcd = get_pcd(var->pixclock, cpufreq_get(0));

Thanks for spotting this.

My mistake was that I thought this was handled by the following without 
checking closer:

arch/arm/mach-sa1100/generic.c:unsigned int cpufreq_get(unsigned int cpu)
arch/arm/mach-sa1100/generic.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(cpufreq_get);

it's... also a really bad/buggy interface... frquency is a per cpu
property for one, and constantly changing (esp in a multi-core world)
even depending on what other parts of the system are doing.

... and such an assumption which would make it impossible to use
the LCD controller on StrongARM-11x0 processors.

This is precisely why we have CPUFREQ - so that hardware which needs
to be re-timed when the CPU frequency changes can get notified of that
event and take the appropriate action.  It exists.  It works.

ARM uses it.

drivers/pcmcia/sa11xx_base.c:   return sa1100_pcmcia_set_mecr(skt, cpufreq_get(0));
drivers/pcmcia/sa11xx_base.c:   unsigned int clock = cpufreq_get(0);
drivers/video/sa1100fb.c:               cpufreq_get(smp_processor_id()));
drivers/video/sa1100fb.c:       pcd = get_pcd(var->pixclock, cpufreq_get(0));
