When I first looked into the patch - it was almost identical to the exynos4210-cpufreq.c or exynos4x12-cpufreq.c files. Also I didn't spot the code characteristic to IKS. It seems like the code in this file is not aware if it runs on A7 or A15. That was the rationale on proposing reusing cpufreq-cpu0 code (which I plan to use as a replacement for current exynos4xxx-cpufreq code). > > @Arun: And you logs must be a bit enhanced as well..
