As I know, the lazy linking issue was fixed by Viresh.
If possible, I want to know your plan about 'required-opp' with
passive governor.
Because I think that the patch[1] is good for devfreq device.

As you mentioned, you have the other idea to implement the 'cpu based
scaling support'
to passive governor without cpu notifier. Actually, if there are no
any other best solution,
I prefer to use cpu notifier for 'cpu based scaling support to
passive_governor'.
