It is there to take care of out-of-sync issues, and was introduced by this commit, so probably it will stay as is: commit a8d7c3bc2396aff14f9e920677072cb55b016040 Author: Elias Oltmanns <e...@nebensachen.de> Date: Mon Oct 22 09:50:13 2007 +0200 [CPUFREQ] Make cpufreq_conservative handle out-of-sync events properly Make cpufreq_conservative handle out-of-sync events properly Currently, the cpufreq_conservative governor doesn't get notified when the actual frequency the cpu is running at differs from what cpufreq thought it was. As a result the cpu may stay at the maximum frequency after a s2ram / resume cycle even though the system is idle.
