Public bug reported:
Using ondemand governor, frequency scaling works as expected when the battery is
in the system, both with A/C plugged in or unplugged. When the bettery is
removed, if the CPU is busy, it keeps running at 1.66GHz,
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[01]/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq shows 1667000. When
the busy job quits, the CPU drops back to 1GHz and
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[01]/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq also changes to 1000000
and can no longer be increased. After reinserting the battery,
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[01]/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq accepts larger
frequencies again.
