I too am quite unimpressed (and rather scared) of the haphazard hacking Google has been doing in the cpufreq drivers.
I looked at that scary code several times (mostly when others asked me to look), and never had the guts to get deeper into it to clean it up.
Its really too scary of a hack and then its from THE GOOGLE :)
I too originally used the words 'scary' and 'hack' in a draft email then toned it down, I needn’t have bothered ;-)
As I'll soon be getting big.LITTLE MP (aka HMP) and Intelligent Power Allocator (IPA) from ARM to integrate, I can't help but think that Google's efforts in this area are going to cause us problems even if it wasn't buggy. So I'm sorely tempted to just revert the whole lot in the ARM Landing Team tree. I'll have to get peoples opinions on that.
