cpufreq_update_policy() calls cpufreq_driver->get() to get current frequency of a CPU and it is not supposed to fail or return zero. Return error in case that happens. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Pierre, I don't think this will fix the issue you were facing but might supress it :).. And so you need to understand what causes your ->get() to return zero. @Rafael: I got to these patches while looking at code recently after Pierre complained about.
