Once we know what's going on in your system, please test attached patch
(Will send it separately once you have tested it):

commit 389fbc3c8ad7c339cd2d9572d73c355b7b967823
Author: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

cpufreq: check cpufreq driver is valid and cpufreq isn't disabled
in cpufreq_get()

cpufreq_get() can be called from external drivers which might not
be aware if
cpufreq driver is registered or not. And so we should actually
check if cpufreq
driver is registered or not and also if cpufreq is active or
disabled, at the
beginning of cpufreq_get().

Otherwise call to lock_policy_rwsem_read() might hit BUG_ON(!policy).
