I agree the code about passive governor to drivers/devfreq/governor_passive.c.
It makes the code clear.

I agree. I'll modify it.

I'll fix it.

OK. I'll register/unregister the DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER by using
DEVFREQ_GOV_START/STOP event.

OK. I'll remove it.

When the devfreq device using passive governor registers the notifier
to DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER, the devfreq device need the one notifier block field
as following:

struct devfreq {
...
...
struct notifier_block passive_nb;
}

static int devfreq_passive_event_handler(struct devfreq *devfreq,
unsigned int event, void *data)
{
struct device *dev = devfreq->dev.parent;
struct devfreq *parent = (struct devfreq *)devfreq->data;
struct notifier_block *nb = &devfreq->passive_nb;
int ret = 0;

if (!parent)
return -EPROBE_DEFER;

switch (event) {
case DEVFREQ_GOV_START:
nb->notifier_call = devfreq_passive_notifier_call;
ret = devm_devfreq_register_notifier(dev, parent, nb,
DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER);
break;
case DEVFREQ_GOV_STOP:
devm_devfreq_unregister_notifier(dev, parent, nb,
DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER);
break;
default:
break;
}

return ret;
}
