Sorry, this is a very specialized usage to enforce meaningless spew in
dmesg on *everybody*. Fix your tests instead.

Yeah, with a local board its easily detectable.

But I faced the issue when I had to see some test reports from
the automated stuff and wanted to see if cpufreq is up and running.

The problem with that is: CPUFreq may not be compiled in at all and
we wouldn't know the difference between success and absence.

And so tried to add a print, like any other driver would do.

While at it, let's also standardize those messages, since they will be

And "Unregistered cpufreq driver: %s\n"

(Also, its probably a good idea to have 2 prints here, just like we have for
cpufreq_register_driver() - one with pr_debug() at the beginning of the
function which tells us that we are *about* to register the driver, and then
a second print with pr_info() at the end of the function that tells us that
we successfully registered the driver. We can do the same thing for
unregistration as well.)

So that it appears in boot logs and we know cpufreq registered properly.

The problem with that is: CPUFreq may not be compiled in at all and
we wouldn't know the difference between success and absence.
