Another look at it and here goes another reason (hope I don't have
another in-code comment somewhere else to kill this one) :)
We don't need to care for the reason you gave (which is a valid reason
otherwise), as we are talking specifically about amu_fie_setup() here
and it gets called from cpufreq policy-notifier. i.e. we won't support
AMUs without cpufreq being there in the first place and the same goes
for cppc-driver.
Does that sound reasonable ?
