This patch doesn't take away any of the work you have done. What you are trying
to do is simplify drivers with empty exit callback and the unused return value
of the callback.

And what I am trying to do is fix a bug in the cpufreq core, which only makes
your other patches more acceptable.

So no, you never identified the problem this patch is trying to solve.

Please don't feel that anyone is trying to take away your hardwork. That's not
how things are done here. We appreciate anyone who is spending time to make the
kernel better.

If I were to take credit of your work, then I would have sent a big patch to fix
the exit() callback issue you are trying to solve, with randomly sent patches.
