    Subject[PATCH 1/2] CPUFREQ: Remove unneeded dbs_mutexes from ondemand and conservative governors
    Date
    Comment from Venkatesh:
    ...
    This mutex is just serializing the changes to those variables. I could't
    think of any functionality issues of not having the lock as such.

    -> rip it out.
