I tested this patch series (including v5 of PATCH 3) on POWER with
Viresh's CPUFreq test suite. I didn't see any issues with the
patchset except for a lockdep splat involving "s_active" and
"od_dbs_cdata.mutex", which was also observed on 4.5-rc3 and which
was fixed by Viresh's recent patches.
With a kernbench run, there were no regression when compared to 4.5-rc3.
FWIW, Tested-by: Gautham R. Shenoy <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
