I don't think so.

Consider the kthread as running currently and has just cleared the
work_in_progress flag. Sched update comes at that time and we decide
to reduce the frequency, we queue another work and update next_freq.
Now if another sched update comes before the kthread finishes its
previous loop, we will simply update next_freq and return. So when the
next time kthread runs, it will pick the most recent update.

Where is the problem both of you see ?
