Hi Shilpa,

No, we can't allow any platform driver to misuse cpufreq_suspend().
Platform drivers aren't *allowed* to call this routine.

Now the deal is how do we move to nominal frequency on reboot..
@Rafael: Any suggestions? How do we ensure that governors
are stopped on these notifiers, or if there is some other solution here?
