[PATCH] drivers: cpufreq: Fix sysfs duplicate filename creation for platform-device

From: sunil . m
Date: Sat Sep 16 2017 - 14:35:45 EST


From: Suniel Mahesh <sunil.m@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

ti-cpufreq.c and cpufreq-dt-platdev.c are registering
platform device with same name "cpufreq-dt" using
platform_device_register_*() routines.
This is leading to build warnings appended below.

This patch does the following:
(a) Remove platform-device registration routine from
ti-cpufreq.c, it appears unnecessary as per CPUfreq framework
kernel Documentation. The ti-cpufreq driver main task is to use
revision and an efuse value from the SoC and provide the OPP
framework with supported hardware information.
Platform-device creation is taken care by cpufreq-dt-platdev.c.
(b) In case if OPP-v2 is not supported just return without
registering the platorm-device.
(c) Rename the goto label

Note:
- Patch was compile tested and built(ARCH=arm) on next-20170915.
- Patch was hardware tested on AM335x SOC based board.
- cpufreq-dt.c driver got probed and entries related to Dynamic Voltage
and Frequency scaling were created in
sysfs @ sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq.
- No build/run-time issues reported.
