This warning message is printed by 'WARN_ON(cpufreq_passive_unregister_notifier(devfreq))' on devfreq passive governor. If the cpufreq drivers are not probed before of probing cci devfreq driver with passive governor, passive governor shows this warning message. Because passive governor with CPUFREQ_PARENT_DEV depends on the cpufreq driver in order to get 'struct cpufreq_policy'[2]. [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chanwoo/linux.git/tree/drivers/devfreq/governor_passive.c?h=devfreq-testing#n339 [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chanwoo/linux.git/tree/drivers/devfreq/governor_passive.c?h=devfreq-testing#n282 But, as I knew, this message might not stop the kernel. Just show the warning message and then return -EPROBE_DEFER error. It means that maybe try to probe the cci devfreq driver on late time of kernel booting and then will be working. But, I need the full kernel booting log and the booting sequence of between cpufreq and cci devfreq driver. In order to fix your issue, could you share the full booting log? And if possible, please explain the more detailed something about this. >>> >>> The CCI driver should be a bit more robust about detecting >>> available/online CPUs >> >> This all seems to be handled in the devfreq passive governor. > > Well, that's the initial crash.
