[PATCH v7 04/13] cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix kernel hang issue while amd-pstate unregistering

From: Perry Yuan
Date: Thu Dec 08 2022 - 06:19:46 EST


In the amd_pstate_adjust_perf(), there is one cpufreq_cpu_get() call to
increase increments the kobject reference count of policy and make it as
busy. Therefore, a corresponding call to cpufreq_cpu_put() is needed to
decrement the kobject reference count back, it will resolve the kernel
hang issue when unregistering the amd-pstate driver and register the
`amd_pstate_epp` driver instance.
