This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

It is not automatically loaded in the boot process (even when included in the initrd). It is desirable to have it built-in so it automatically loads on systems booting in PowerNV mode. One of the reaons is to save power by default (the default cpufreq governor is ondemand). That cpufreq driver fails gracefully on other (non IBM, OPAL) powerpc platforms that don't have the expected files in the device-tree (see [2]). A patch will be sent to the kernel-team mailing list.
