I could see a circular locking dependency and sysfs hang with the new
patch named "cpufreq: cancel self-rearming work synchroneously" also.
Please find the dmesg output. Please let me know if you need more
information. Thank a lot for your coordination.

[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.25.9.cpufreq #2
-------------------------------------------------------
S06cpuspeed/3427 is trying to acquire lock:
(&(&dbs_info->work)->work){--..}, at: [<c012f46c>]

but task is already holding lock:
(dbs_mutex){--..}, at: [<c041e7db>] cpufreq_governor_dbs+0x26a/0x2f7
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
