The policies are always different in such cases, with or without this flag. What
this flag rather enables is for us to have separate set of tunables for the
governor for individual policies.

For example, without this flag there will be a single governor directory:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/schedutil/

and the value of tunables in that directory will be used for all cpufreq
policies.

With this flag you wouldn't have the governor directory there, but rather in:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/schedutil/

i.e. tunables per policy and that's why the name of the flag is:
have_governor_per_policy.

Sure, that sounds good. Just that you need to update the commit log a bit.

data is void *. No need to provide typecast information. This shouldn't throw
any build warnings I believe.
