Without it, I don't have *any* way of using any kind of frequency scaling
(not just dynamic). I can't do anything, be it dynamic, manual, whatever.
Furthermore, with the module, one can use powernowd for the dynamic
frequency scaling.

Is there anything wrong with providing a module? If/when it happens to be
removed, just don't provide it anymore.
Ideally, the module shouldn't be needed, but the situation is far from
ideal, because hardware is frequently, broken.
Let me just emphasize that the problem here is not a governor or something
that can be alternatively used: without it, not governor, etc can be used.
Thanks,
