Well, disabling it for the whole duration of suspend/resume and/or hibernation may not be the right approach entirely, unless we force the pax perf of the boot CPU at least in addition to that. Otherwise the latency of suspend and the subsequent resume will depend on what perf level the CPUs where before disabling the governors, which is not desirable at al. > Hibernation is probably not supported by my code yet..

You'd need both PM_POST_HIBERNATION and PM_POST_RESTORE, but I wouldn't really like cpufreq governors to be disabled throughout the whole hibernation. Actually, we use CPU offline/online during system suspend/resume to avoid having to do stuff like this from PM notifiers. So I'd like the original problem to be addressed in a different way. Thanks!
