Hmmm ... Nothing comes to my mind. I blamed it but it's a part of a 
bigger change.

Good point - I'll change it.

Sure - I'll add a comment. If stat->current_frequency is not updated, 
the governor would always ask to set the max freq because the initial 
frequency was unknown to it. Reference - devfreq_simple_ondemand_func(...)
