Firstly, please start changes to scheduler code with a verb. This title:

Subject: Re: [PATCH V2 4/4] cpufreq: schedutil: irq-work and mutex are only used in slow path

is totally inadequate as it's a statement that says nothing about the _change_.

What does the patch do? Does it add, remove, modify, fix or clean up?

Is this an optimization? A correctness fix?

Thanks,
