[PATCH 1/8] cpufreq: Revert commit a66b2e to fix cpufreq regressionduring suspend/resume

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat
Date: Thu Jul 11 2013 - 18:19:23 EST


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).
