I found a simpler way to reproduce these messages. If I simply use the userspace governor and cycle through all the A7 OPPs, I'll hit this message (script below[1]). Note that I'm also using my DTS change that fixes the vdd_arm and vdd_kfc voltages to a voltage that is high enough for all the OPPs.

And, I just found another issue: On exynos5800-peach-pi, setting the cpufreq default governor to performance at compile time (CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y) makes the kernel boot hang when the cpufreq driver is initialized. However, setting the compile-time default to the userspace governor, and then setting the performance governor via sysfs after the boot finishes seems to work fine.
