Hence, you can still patch the phone but the bar is hopefully raised to the point where there is understanding of what is being changed rather than patching and hoping for the best.
If the smartreflex/cpu-scaling is stabilized in the kernel, I will consider putting this back in the feed again.
I installed your patch on my launch day Pre before it was relegated to the Dangerous category on Preware. I don't remember any warnings, and I'm not aware of any now that state that your patch will brick some Pre's. Your patch did brick my phone, and I posted that it did in a thread or two along with, as you say, "a large number of people". I explicitly stated that I blamed no one but myself. That is still the case.
Your post however, rubs me the wrong way. Your patch WILL brick a certain percentage of phones that it is installed on. My Pre glowed at 100% screen brightness or more after install, when I had it adjusted to 0 (Eerie when driving at night). My BT headset would beep that I had a call but would be silent when I would answer it. After freezes, the Pre would stick on "palm" during reboot. Finally, WebOs Doctor failed to recognize the phone. That's bricked to me, not just "posted bricked". Everything I have just stated has been reported by others on this forum.
"Hence"? "The bar is hopefully raised"? What are you talking about?
