the kernel is not buggy. It goes back to safe defaults when something went wrong or if the user misconfigured the system.
If the device is rebooted more than once within 5mins the configuration is not loaded
as it might have rebooted due to a crash. It's a feature and not bug.
But it next version there will be a better heuristic to determine whether there was crash.

did you perform the commands as root?

This may be a bug....rebooting while charging will reset to default 250-600mhz (even if I did the ln command.)
