CPUFreq drivers today support ->get(cpu) callback, which returns current clock rate of the CPU. The problem with ->get() is that it takes cpu number as parameter and this unnecessarily makes things complex.
Firstly the core gets the cpu number by doing operation 'policy->cpu' on the policy and then many drivers need to get the policy back and so do cpufreq_cpu_get(cpu) on the cpu passed as argument to ->get().
It would be better if we pass them 'policy' directly and drivers can use policy->cpu if that's all they need.

Is this getting moved to 4.4?
I'm really unsure about this change at all.
I have a concern that it may not go in the right direction. I'll say more about that later today.
Thanks, Rafael
