Subject: cpufreq: Revert commit a66b2e to fix suspend/resume regression
From: "Srivatsa S. Bhat" <[email protected]>
commit aae760ed21cd690fe8a6db9f3a177ad55d7e12ab upstream.
commit a66b2e (cpufreq: Preserve sysfs files across suspend/resume)
has unfortunately caused several things in the cpufreq subsystem to
break subtly after a suspend/resume cycle.
The intention of that patch was to retain the file permissions of the
cpufreq related sysfs files across suspend/resume. To achieve that,
the commit completely removed the calls to cpufreq_add_dev() and
__cpufreq_remove_dev() during suspend/resume transitions. But the
problem is that those functions do 2 kinds of things:
1. Low-level initialization/tear-down that are critical to the
correct functioning of cpufreq-core.
2. Kobject and sysfs related initialization/teardown.
Ideally we should have reorganized the code to cleanly separate these
two responsibilities, and skipped only the sysfs related parts during
suspend/resume. Since we skipped the entire callbacks instead (which
also included some CPU and cpufreq-specific critical components),
cpufreq subsystem started behaving erratically after suspend/resume.
So revert the commit to fix the regression. We'll revisit and address
the original goal of that commit separately, since it involves quite a
bit of careful code reorganization and appears to be non-trivial.
(While reverting the commit, note that another commit f51e1eb
(cpufreq: Fix cpufreq regression after suspend/resume) already
reverted part of the original set of changes. So revert only the
remaining ones).
