Because it has a "Fixes:" tag on it. Is that tag not correct?
understood why it's backported. Probably yes. Or maybe another commit should be introduced to not create a new issue.
What "original message"?
My original message in this mailing list, see below commands that show the problem (last line is wrong):
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_available_frequencies 299999 399999 599999 1199999
echo 399999 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_setspeed
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_cur_freq 399999
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/cpuinfo_cur_freq 299999 ====> Should be 399999
