Gigabyte 970A-UD3P and hwpstate problem

[Mario Lobo]

Hi;

I just installed a Gigabyte 970A-UD3P mobo and updated BIOS to the
latest version but the problem also showed with the previous version.

Here is my amd64 10-STABLE setup:

FreeBSD 10.2-PRERELEASE #0 r285207M: Tue Jul  7 00:11:01 BRT 2015

The problem:

powerd: no cpufreq(4) support -- aborting: No such file or directory
/etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start powerd

Cool 'n' Quiet is enabled in BIOS but no hwpstate0 shows up on dmesg

pciconf -lv | grep -A 3 none

none0 at pci0:0:20:0:      class=0x0c0500 card=0x43851002 chip=0x43851002
rev=0x42 hdr=0x00 vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI'
device     = 'SBx00 SMBus Controller'
class      = serial bus

Everything else is accounted for.

Tried evrey *smb*.ko from kernel but nothing happens

Would anyone have any suggestion that I could try?

Thanks,
