Or this one.
Advantage: You can still have cpufreq core without the performance
governor built.
Disadvantage: The logic whether transition latency checks are
needed/done is moved to Kconfig.
Means, if you write a governor that has transition
latency values above 0, you must let it depend on
the performance governor in Kconfig.
Hope I got all .config possibilities with that one now.
Attached is also a replacement patch for this one:
cpufreq-allow-ondemand-and-conservative-cpufreq-governors-to-be-used-as-default.patch
CPUfreq: Only check for transition latency on problematic governors

Allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as default
Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the
ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq drivers.
Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range of systems.
This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the performance
governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not support fast
enough frequency switching.
Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without userspace
support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most systems by
simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential for recent
x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic cpufreq OS support.
