um, I suspect it really wants to get at the current CPU.  But putting a
preempt_disable() around just that code is meaningless: the current CPU
could change immediately before or after the code block. It needs deeper
fixing, methinks.

I think we can  remove these part. It checks chipset 's pci id
(vendor id/device id) after this part as follows;

       /* detect which companion chip is used */
       while ((gx_pci = pci_get_device(PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID,
gx_pci)) != NULL) {
               if ((pci_match_id(gx_chipset_tbl, gx_pci)) != NULL)
                       return gx_pci;
       }

It drives cpu frequency  through chipset register, not CPU regsiter.
It may be enough to check chipset pci id.
