You are calling this routine even when we aren't at the last cpu of a policy.
And so, eventually you are calling this routine for a link you have created.

Have you actually tested your code? What kind of platform? What is cpu
topology ?? And what exactly you tested..

We are already on v6 and this patch still looks like the v1.. It still has lots
of basic mistakes, which I don't expect so later in the series..

Its very difficult for me to review the same patchset again and again.. So,
normally people might not review it well after v3-v4 and just trust the sender..
But I am nowhere close to getting that.. And so discouraged to review it..

Please review/test it well on multiple kind of systems if possible. Test on
your intel laptop and see if it has multiple policy structures with
multiple cpus
in it.. cpuX/cpufreq/related_cpus gives you all cpus that share policy
structure.

haven't answered this.

Go through earlier comments about this.. you are still wrong.. You need to
run over cpus that are in this policy.. i.e. policy->cpus.

No you don't need that routine. Or in other words there isn't any exit
for cpufreq core and so this directory must not be removed.
