Yes, this looks okay. Does it fix your "it reboots during resume" problem?

Okay, you are right, restoring it unconditionaly would be bad
idea. Still it would be nice to tell cpufreq governor "please change
the frequency ASAP" so it does not run at 800MHz for half an hour
compiling kernels on AC power.
