Thanks for giving it a try once again :)

I didn't understood it completely, sorry :)

As far as I can see from 3.11 code we simply used to fail with any failure
resulting with a call to ->init() or some other call..

And so cpufreq wouldn't have added any directories at all in that case.
And so I think we still required an offline/online sequence to guarantee
things..
