I certainly had it enabled. Since I remember I needed to turn it off
temporarily after someone has introduced an incorrect change to the clock
tree definition and cpufreq was unexpectedly switching parents of one of
the root clocks at run time, which was causing malfunction of the camera
image processing chain.

Anyway this wasn't a clean mainline kernel, as there have been recently lot
of stuff pending upstream needed to have complete system with dt support.
I assume after 3.10 release the situation is going to be much better.

That's most likely what happened.
