The loops which are used to perform lookups in CPU frequency tables in
cpu_cooling and the Exynos thermal driver do not update the loop counter
if they encounter an invalid table entry, leading to an infinite loop in
that case.

Wouldn't be easier to just increase the index i before doing a continue?
I think this is cleaner. The code is iterating through an array -- it
should be a for loop.

What this has to do with the patch description?
I'm using level_index as the counter of valid frequencies, where as i
is the index into the array. If there are invalid entries, they are
not necessarily equal. The point of this function is to find the
level-th *valid* frequency in the table.
Besides why would you be comparing level against 0 all the time (you have
initialized level_index to 0 at this point).
Huh? level_index is clearly incremented below...
- i++;
+ level_index++;
level_index wont be updated in case of INVALID entry.
That's the point.

I believe you do more than what you have described in your intention under
you patch description
I disagree. I'm fixing the loop so that it properly handles invalid
entries and thus the infinite loop problem I mention in the commit
message.
In this case, I believe you should also rephrase your patch description,
explaining that you are also fixing a role for each index.
Can you please split your patch into smaller changes?
I don't think there is a need for separate patches to cpu_cooling.c.
You do two things in this change on cpu_cooling.c: (1) fix the case
where the loop is kept running indefinitely. (2) Reserve a specific role
for each index in this function.
For this reason, I suggested doing one thing per patch and splitting
this change into two for better review process. Having that split with a
good description for each change makes everyone life easier, don t you
think?
