Yeah I apologize for this; going back to the conversation we had, I
realize that I completely overlooked the part where you suggested it as
a second patch. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Rafael, please ignore the versions sent so far. I shall send out two
patches that are logically separated. V2 of this patch that you were
requested to pick up needs some more fixes; the patch was not freeing
the dynamically allocated data after populating the cpufreq table. Ill
fix all of these in the next posting.

Thanks
