I forgot to mention that both cpufreq and cpuidle patchsets were also
tested on AC100 by Nicolas Chauvet and I forgot to ask for the explicit
t-b. Nicolas, thank you very much for all the testing of the
grate-kernel! Please feel free to give yours t-b :)

Michał, please let me know if you'll spot any problems with the recent
version of the patches and please feel free to give yours t-b if it
works well.
