In the meantime we agreed that we have to invoke frequency invariance
from within the cpufreq driver.

For a fast-switch driver I would have to put the call to
arch_set_freq_scale() somewhere where I know that the frequency has been
set.

Without a notification (from the firmware) that the frequency has been
set, I would have to call arch_set_freq_scale() somewhere in the
driver::fast_switch() call assuming that the frequency has been actually
set.
