Earlier ones were > related to hibernation.. That's correct. I have not observed this on suspend to RAM. But then again I haven't rigged any way to log that, so I don't think it's conclusive.. The point I tried to make is that it isn't related to any hibernation *failures*. The warning appears even if the add_dev() is successful, and it also appears if I touch only the *boot* cpu cpufreq attributes. I.e., this seems to be unrelated to the hotplugging code. Here's another copy of the warning, captured by cancelling hibernation as I don't have any other way to log it at the moment. But I do see the warning appear on the console *before* cancelling. And I also see this warning appear when trying the in-kernel hibernation instead of userspace.
