Its been 3 weeks since my last email on this thread and no reply yet
from any of the IMX maintainers. Can someone please help here ?

@Shawn: Can you help debugging a bit here, to see what's get screwed
up due to this commit ? Its just that your platform isn't able to
change freq at 10 ms rate.

@Rafael: I am not sure, but should we be stopping this patch because
some hardware isn't able to change freq at 10ms interval and is just
faking the transition delay to start with ?

Maybe we get this merged again and the IMX guys can figure out what's
wrong on their platform and how to fix it ?
