[PATCH 2/2] x86, powernow-k8: Fix exit path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxxxx>

When Cool'n'Quiet is disabled in the BIOS we're missing _PSS
objects and powernow-k8 fails loading with a juicy firmware bug
message. However, on machines with boosting cpus, it forgets
to unreg from the cpu notifier chain leading to oops. See also
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=655215

Fix error path accordingly.
