Patch:

commit d4019f0a92ab802f385cc9c8ad3ab7b5449712cb
Author: Viresh Kumar <viresh.ku...@linaro.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 14 19:38:24 2013 +0530

    cpufreq: move freq change notifications to cpufreq core

adds:

diff --git a/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c b/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c
+               retval = cpufreq_driver->target_index(policy, index);
+               if (retval)
+                       pr_err("%s: Failed to change cpu frequency: %d\n",
+                                       __func__, retval);
+
+               if (notify) {
+                       /*
+                        * Notify with old freq in case we failed to change
+                        * frequency
+                        */
+                       if (retval)
+                               freqs.new = freqs.old;
+
+                       cpufreq_notify_transition(policy, &freqs,
+                                       CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE);
+               }


And I thought it might go in 3.13, but surely it doesn't fix any
obvious kernel crashes. It only fixes stuff when target_index() fails.
