Yes, if you see the first patch of this series, it takes this into
account.. In case
target() failed and returned an error, we simply notify the POST CHANGE
notification with old frequencies instead of new ones. I believe that would be
enough..

This is exactly what acpi-cpufreq and others are doing currently.

Hope I answered your question well?
