I tried to look up what problem is being reported, but apart from the hint
from the subject line, I couldn't find anything more. So, guessing that there
is something wrong with cpufreq after an s3 cycle, Toralf, can you please
try out the below patch and see if it improves anything? (Don't revert anything,
just apply the below diff on a problematic kernel and see if it solves your
issue).
