Bug#793185: linux-image-3.16.0-4-armmp: missing cpufreq on cubieboard (Allwinner A10 sun4i)

[Leonardo Canducci <leonardo.canducci@gmail.com>]

Just tested with 4.0 from sid and 4.1 (trunk) from experimental. Same output:

leo@cubetto:~$ uname -a

Maybe some device-tree issue?

It seems that cpufreq from sunxi was added to mainline in 4.0. I expect
this should work with the 4.0 kernel in sid or the 4.1 kernel from
experimental.

Please could you try those and report back.
