We surely do not need cross CPU cal at this point as all secondary cpus
will be offline at this point.

That was what I was wondering as well. Looks like this part of
cpufreq_suspend came from

commit 42d4dc3f4e1ec1396371aac89d0dccfdd977191b

    [PATCH] Add suspend method to cpufreq core
    
    In order to properly fix some issues with cpufreq vs. sleep on
    PowerBooks, I had to add a suspend callback to the pmac_cpufreq
driver.
    I must force a switch to full speed before sleep and I switch back
to
    previous speed on resume.
    
    I also added a driver flag to disable the warnings in suspend/resume
    since it is expected in this case to have different speed (and I
want it
    to fixup the jiffies properly).

benh: Do you think we still need this cpufreq_driver->get() and return
error on (!cur_freq || !cpu_policy->cur) stuff?
May be we should all the checks only if CPUFREQ_PM_NO_WARN is set?

Thanks,
Venki
