Collectd-mod-cpufreq not working on MT6000

Just received my (2) new MT6000 and running snapshot 24661.

I notice that the statistics plug-in collectd-mod-cpufreq doesn't seem to work. It is installed:

...and set-up....

...but the specific tab isn't showing up in the statistics.

In the system log i can see that the plugin apparently loads successfully:

...but it also says:

I'm quit sure a CPU is present.

Are you sure the cpu support frequency scaling? Don't know how that package collects the cpu frequency, but one way is

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq

If no frequency scaling is supported, this fails.

As it uses the same CPU architecture as the RT3200 (aarch64_cortex-a53) I assumed it would support it. Guess it doesn't.....

/etc/config$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
cat: can't open '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq': No such file or directory

Shame.

The devs disabled cpu scaling in the rt3200 several month back. I forget why..
