Please use a form with 12 chars SHA ID plus the commit subject, e.g.
1234567890ab ("blah blah...")

The increase of the max frequency is supposedly OK.
A remaining question is whether this should be included in stable
kernel. It fixes in one side, but it's quite untested in another
side. Maybe we queue this for 4.10, and later on notify to stable
maintainer once when it's confirmed to work and be harmless.
