This looks a lot like commit d95fe371ecd2 ("cpufreq: powernv: Fix frame-size-overflow in powernv_cpufreq_work_fn").

As with that patch, I have checked for matching puts/gets and that all
uses of '&' check out.

I tried to look at the snowpatch tests: they apparently reported a
checkpatch warning but the file has since disappeared so I can't see
what it was. Running checkpatch locally:

$ scripts/checkpatch.pl -g HEAD -strict
WARNING: Possible unwrapped commit description (prefer a maximum 75 chars per line)
#15: 
make[3]: *** [./scripts/Makefile.build:316: drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.o] Error 1

This is benign and you shouldn't wrap that line anyway.

On that basis:
