Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC 3/9] PM / devfreq: Add cpu based scaling support to
 passive_governor

Hey Chanwoo,

Thanks a lot for reviewing the patch. Like I
had indicated earlier we decided to go with
a simpler approach instead on qualcomm SoCs.
I am happy to re-spin this patch with your
comments addressed if we do find other users
for this feature.
