Thanks for the pointers!

It looks like the author of the $subject patch hasn't looked at the latter
document lately.

In any case, IMO this might be used to hide the cpufreq_update_util() call
sites from the scheduler code in case no one has set anything via
cpufreq_set_update_util_data() for any CPUs.

That essentially is when things like the performance governor are in use,
so may be worth doing, but that's your judgement call mostly. :-)

Thanks,
Rafael
