I tried to disable CONFIG_CPU_IDLE and CONFIG_CPU_FREQ, however for some reason I could only disable CONFIG_CPU_FREQ.

The bug persisted.

Reverting the commit 84c91b7 on top of e67ee10 fixes the problem.

I created a copy of the bug report here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96111

Cheers,
