As far as I can tell this notification says "I tried to switch from
"intermediate_freq" to "policy->restore_freq" but I failed, so I'm
still at "intermediate_freq".  I think you probably want to pass 0 as
the last argument to cpufreq_freq_transition_end() to fix...


Other than that this looks good to me.  I'll do a final review when
you spin the next version (since I think you need to fix stuff for
Stephen too).  I'll probably wait and re-review the Tegra version when
you and Stephen come to a consensus on it.
