Ideally you should keep all the headers whose declarations your code
is using directly. It may happen that removing above still compiles
because cpufreq.h has included the headers indirectly for you. But
that will break the day cpufreq.h doesn't need those headers anymore.

So just make sure you aren't using any of them in your code. For
example you are using bool in your code and so you shouldn't remove
types.h ? Same for init.h as you are using __init and __exit.
