I wonder if this series is bisectable? Perhaps I should just go and read
the rest of the series, but I presume there's a patch somewhere else
that adds those two cpufreq_notify_transition() to the cpufreq core.
Either that happens before this patch (in which case listeners will get
two notifications each time; perhaps that is safe?), or after this patch
(in which case with just this patch applied, no notifications will be
sent until a later patch!

Aside from that, all the Tegra-specific patches in this series,
