I was having the same issue so I try this:
$ sudo start-stop-daemon --stop --name cpufreqd
$ sudo cpufreqd -D -V 7
That started the cpufreq daemon and print how the rules were evaluated. So I find out than the problem is in the temp sensors. The sensors always shows 50ºC (122ºF) which is wrong so the rule selected by cpufreq is not the expected one.
