I did test your branch on a Tegra20 and Tegra30 board without issues.
But recall that our cpufreq driver doesn't actually get initialized
since the conversion of Tegra to the common clock framework, so I
haven't really tested the cpufreq changes, except to ensure that nothing
in those branches breaks other basic functionality.
