These patches are just a repost of [1] and [2] with a cover letter for more
history and backround. On the Pixel product we carry a similar path which was
also posted some time ago to LKML [3] [4] however that patch was for schedfreq
governor (which isn't upstream). For schedutil which is upstream and currently
used on our future products, we go through the cpufreq update hooks and this
patch is adapted for this usecase.
