The upstream commit that probably will fix the regression that Kiko ran
into is aae760ed21cd690fe8a6db9f3a177ad55d7e12ab ("cpufreq: Revert
commit a66b2e to fix suspend/resume regression"). It's only part of
v3.11-rc2 and was committed with a
    Cc: 3.10+ <stable@vger.kernel.org>

tag. So I'd guess that fix will be part of a future v3.10.y (stable)
releases.

Note that I already suggested to Kiko to try that patch (see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/14/35 ). I don't know whether Kiko tried
it, as I never received a reply to my suggestion. So, for now, I can
only say that that patch will probably fix the issue.
