That would be the best option, assuming that it wouldn't introduce 
feature regressions. Unfortunately there is still ongoing work on 
cpufreq driver to make it multiplatform-aware, so dropping single 
platform support right now would introduce at least this one regression.

Thomas, is there any progress on new version of Exynos cpufreq rework 
series?
