I'm okay with this patch, but I see a similar pr_debug in caller cpufreq_online(),
so not sure if this is strictly necessary.

1402                 /*
1403                  * Call driver. From then on the cpufreq must be able
1404                  * to accept all calls to ->verify and ->setpolicy for this CPU.
1405                  */
1406                 ret = cpufreq_driver->init(policy);
1407                 if (ret) {
1408                         pr_debug("%s: %d: initialization failed\n", __func__,
1409                                  __LINE__);
1410                         goto out_free_policy;
1411                  

Thanks,
