Hi,

Yes, so sorry about that, it looks like I failed to test with:

CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
CONFIG_X86_AMD_FREQ_SENSITIVITY=m

The following patch fixes this, Tim, could you please test ? :

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] cpufreq: fix NULL pointer deference at
od_set_powersave_bias()

When initializing the default powersave_bias value, we need to first
make sure that this policy is running the ondemand governor.
