SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 0/5] Cpufreq frequency serialization fixes
> Meelis Roos reported hangs during boot in the longhaul cpufreq driver, after
> commit 12478cf0c55 (cpufreq: Make sure frequency transitions are serialized).
> The root-cause of this issue is the extra invocation of the
> cpufreq_freq_transition_begin() and cpufreq_freq_transition_end() APIs in the
> longhaul driver. I found similar issues in the powernow-k6 and powernow-k7
> drivers as well. This patchset fixes the issue in all the 3 drivers and also
> adds a debug infrastructure to catch such issues easily.
>
> Patches 1-4 fix the regression in longhaul, powernow-k6 and powernow-k7

> separate patch instead of merging it with patch 3, because I felt that it was
> a bit subtle and needed attention in a separate patch).

This also works on my VIA EPIA.
