This crashes when parent is NULL, in the case where parent is cpufreq.
This is the case with the MTK ccifreq driver, which produces the panic
and backtrace below [1].

I made a fix for a previous version of this patch:

    https://github.com/wens/linux/commit/f85c1834dd07388abb57a00200c80f7440823a03

BTW, could you CC me on future revisions? I'm not subscribed to the
linux-pm mailing list.
