Public bug reported:

== SRU Justifcation Groovy/RISCV ==

The SiFive Unleashed board with the current Ubuntu cpufreq default
config can hang on boot with CPU freq enabled with the latest device
tree settings.  It is known that the cpufreq can be problematic so the
recommended way forward is to currently revert the cpufreq enablement

    SiFive Unleashed CPUFreq


== The fix(es) ==

Revert commit "SiFive Unleashed CPUFreq"

== Test Case ==

Boot with the latest DT. It should now boot. Boot without the latest DT,
it should also boot.

== Where problems could occur ==

1. Users expecting CPU freq scaling now don't have this working option.
This is deemed to be acceptable as without the fix their systems are
likely to be unbootable with the updated DT.
