No way, this would never work. This would create separate locks
in each file that includes cpufreq.h. And so the locks you are talking
about wouldn't protect governor.
Have you actually tested this code? If this fixes the breakage you
saw? If this fixes it then you need to do better investigation of your
problem..
you actually need to remove the static keyword from cpufreq.c file.
Nothing else.
