Hi Greg,

It is not an error but a fallback path. It is called at init time when
the cpufreq notifier is called and when either the DT read failed or
nothing is specified. I agree this is noise, I will remove the trace.

Ah, right I did not pay attention to the prefix and blindly copied the
line from somewhere else. I think it is better to drop this trace in any
case.

I will provide a patch setting the pr_fmt in a separate series.
