[PATCH 3/7] cpufreq: Only query drivers that implement cpufreq_driver.target()

[dirk . brandewie]

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@xxxxxxxxx>

Scaling drivers that implement cpufreq_driver.setpolicy() have
internal governors and may/will change the current operating frequency
very frequently this will cause cpufreq_out_of_sync() to be called
every time. Only call cpufreq_driver.get() for drivers that implement
cpufreq_driver.target()
