Yes, but you left out this preceding your quoted block: 
So only if rc.modules thinks you're using a battery powered system, it uses cpufreq or if you explicitely set CPUFREQ to on. 
That's the reason for the custom kernel of my laptop. But I think it also didn't work with the non-custom and the custom kernel which still had battery module. Anyway, nevermind.
Code: Select all
CPUFREQ=battery
# If CPUFREQ=battery and the battery module is loaded, turn on CPUfreq.
if [ "$CPUFREQ" = "battery" ]; then
if /sbin/lsmod | grep -wq battery ; then
# CPUFREQ=battery and a battery was detected, so change CPUFREQ
# to 'on' so that the block of script below will try to enable it.
CPUFREQ=on
fi
fi
