Then used outside of that block.

So this won't build if CPU_FREQ is disabled.

But don't bother to fix that, as I've already done so and I've got a
bunch of tweaks I'm making to the code (I figured I'd done enough
nit-picking reviews, and probably should just roll my sleeves up and
take a swing at how I'd prefer the code look - including Richard's
suggestions as well).

I'll send you my revisions here shortly and hopefully you can let me
know if anything goes too far and hopefully do some testing with it.

thanks
