maybe there are multiple problems working together to heat up omap3.
I doubt cpufreq alone causes such problems. But I will test, if
everything is idle, things should be powered down anyways regardless of
cpufreq

When I had a hot gta04 in the past, it was always at a bad time.
Touchscreen did not work. Last time was when I wanted to use the gta04
to show me the way from Brussels midi to my hotel for fosdem. That
was with 4.17 kernel.
