Hi, so we meet again :)

Cause building additional module was PITA for me. But as you succeed as well, in worst case you can use voyage kernel + your I2C.
true, but I'm wondering anyway since lower level I2C modules ARE included,
just not i2c-core. Doesn't make much sense like that...

I compiled the module, started cpufrequtils and the clock dropped to 800 MHz
immediately. The CPU now runs ~ 4degC cooler.
