Ok, so this is just a serial port based driver, which means the
follow-up question
is what you use for your uart. Is this one of the USB-serial ones or an on-chip
uart? Which driver?

Ok, so that sounds like it happens when you change the frequency.
I assume this means you are using drivers/cpufreq/omap-cpufreq.c?

When using the usersapce governor, do you see problems when you
manually change the frequency from sysfs?
