[PATCH] [54/99] CPUFREQ: Remove cpufreq_stats sysfs entries on module unload.

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Wed Jul 27 2011 - 17:49:04 EST


2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Dave Jones <davej@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 13f067537f34456443f61c950cd6dc37d1d5f3ee upstream.

cpufreq_stats leaves behind its sysfs entries, which causes a panic
when something stumbled across them.
(Discovered by unloading cpufreq_stats while powertop was loaded).
