While developing a krait cache scaling devfreq driver I encounter tons
of panics and errors with using the new cpufreq passive governor
functions. While the krait cache scaling is still WIP and required some
testing I would like to push all the fixes to make the new
implementation wroking since currently with a the governor
PROBE_DEFERRing all sort of things happen from kernel panic from invalid
address access to freq_table getting corrupted.

With the following fixes my WIP driver works correctly without any
warning/problems.

Christian 'Ansuel' Marangi (5):
PM / devfreq: Fix cpufreq passive unregister erroring on PROBE_DEFER
PM / devfreq: Fix kernel warning with cpufreq passive register fail
PM / devfreq: Fix kernel panic with cpu based scaling to passive gov
PM / devfreq: Rework freq_table to be local to devfreq struct
PM / devfreq: Mute warning on governor PROBE_DEFER
