Thanks for the report, adding linux-pm and linux-acpi to the CC.

So the cpufreq driver's ->get() callback returns 0 for the given CPU and
that's what triggers the WARN_ON(). And it most likely returns 0, because
its internal data structure for that CPU is not present.
I *guess* that before the above commit policy was NULL in cpufreq_update_policy()
and we didn't get to the point where ->get() was called.
There seems to be a couple of ways to address that, but I'd like Viresh to have
a look at this too.
