I am starting to follow cpufreq patches religiously now and so have to come back to this old thread due to some crash we got :)
Its still not pushed upstream, so better to get it resolved before 3.9.
Definitely, that's what we have -next for!

I may be wrong here :)
You are actually right. This comes from the first version of the patch (I basically rewrote it after the common code rafactoring), and cdbs was meant to be always the one for the master CPU while cpu should indicate the one being initialized. Then the thing turned out as:
A - I dropped the code specific for master cdbs here as it was already there on another code path following the rafactoring. B - I passed j_cdbs = dbs_data->get_cpu_cdbs(j) in the init cycle while it was really meant to be get_cpu_cdbs(cpu).

In case of uniprocessor systems also, the if block should be enough. Isn't it?
Same reason, get_cpu_cdbs(j) was meant to be get_cpu_cdbs(cpu) but that's not used anymore in the last version of the patch, and the same for the last hunk.
I'll send a patch to clean this up, thanks for spotting it!
