I have yet to test this new iteration of the patchset, but this message
looks familiar. I already encountered it with the older version applied
to vanilla-4.5.y.

The messages happen when devfreq_update_status() (in
drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c) encounters a uninitialized (zero)
previous_freq. I have currently fixed this in my local tree by just
skipping (goto out) devfreq_update_status() in that case.

Maybe it would be more elegant to set previous_freq to something sane on
probe. IIRC then it is set from initial_freq on probe, but the exynos
code doesn't set this one.

Maybe this info is helpful?


With best wishes,
Tobias
