Hi All,

Tianyu debugged into https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59781 and found
that commit a66b2e50 is causing the regression.

Tianyu has proposed a fix (patch attached to bugzilla) but having scaling
drivers receive hotplug notifications through two paths seems weird.

Looking at the core code and some of the other scaling drivers
I don't see an obvious fix.  Maybe adding optional suspend/resume callbacks
to the scaling driver interface?

All the scaling drivers that need to do stateful  work in the init/exit
callbacks are being affected by this change so I think there are other
subtle side-effects out there that haven't been noticed yet.

I am not sure how we should proceed here?

Thoughts?
