I think it is fine as there is no guarantee from cpufreq core if
.fast_switch() will get called and so target/target_index must be
present. We can't do fast-switch today without schedutil (as only that
enables it) and if a notifier gets registered before the driver, then
we are gone again.

Yeah, we can't say it is enabled as you explained, though I meant
something else here then, i.e. getting rid of driver name and
unimportant stuff. What about this now:

pr_debug("supports frequency invariance");

This shall get printed as this finally:

cpufreq: supports frequency invariance
