Subject: Re: [BUG] oops in cpufreq driver with AMD Kaveri CPU

Disabling cpufreq code in kernel config works around this issue.

Is this bug related to sleeping in atomic context, which is caused by improper 
GFP_KERNEL usage instead of GFP_ATOMIC? Should I test tat patch, or there will 
be another fix?
