I tested this series with your modified 1/2 today, but on top of a
current mainline (commit 9a0bb2966ef) instead of linux-pm.git/pm-cpufreq.
Shouldn't make much difference since Linus already has pulled your
'pm+acpi-3.13-rc6' tag, which included that pm-cpufreq branch.

This series fixes the reported bug for me.


But I observed this, most likely unrelated, splat during the test:

ACPI Exception: AE_BAD_PARAMETER, Returned by Handler for [EmbeddedControl] (20131115/evregion-282)

CPU1 is up
ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S4
PM: noirq thaw of devices complete after 2.727 msecs
PM: early thaw of devices complete after 1.137 msecs



This warning appeared when I tried cancelling hibernation, which is
known to fail when using the acpi-cpufreq driver.  The point of the test
was to verify that such failures still produce the expected result:

 - all stale sysfs files are cleaned up and removed
 - later suspend/resume actions will restore (or actually reinitiate)
   the cpufreq driver for the non-boot CPUs

Which was successful, except that it produced the above lockdep warning.

I have not verified that this is a new warning (which means that it most
likely is not).  And I expect the whole acpi-cpufreq problem, including
that warning, to go away when you eventually push
http://www.spinics.net/lists/cpufreq/msg08714.html with your improved
changelog (thanks for doing that BTW).  So I don't worry too much about
it.  Just wanted to let you know.
