[PATCH V2] cpufreq: Return error if ->get() failed in cpufreq_update_policy()

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Tue Feb 25 2014 - 04:00:01 EST


cpufreq_update_policy() calls cpufreq_driver->get() to get current frequency of
a CPU and it is not supposed to fail or return zero. Return error in case that
happens.

V1->V2:
- Fixed return error to EIO instead of EINVAL
- Added WARN_ON() to flag get() failing and hence removed the print message as
well which was earlier printed during errors.
