Yes, I noticed that as well :(

In the ChromiumOS tree, the same CPUFreq driver is used for both the Peach
Pit (Exynos5420) and Peach Pi (Exynos5800) Chromebooks.

In general I prefer to use the ChromiumOS tree as a reference instead of the
HardKernel one, since the former is in a much better shape IMHO.

I think is worth to check in a kernel tree in http://opensource.samsung.com/
for a product that's Exynos5422/5800 based.
