From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> The cpb sysfs attribute is only exposed by the ACPI cpufreq driver after a runtime check. For this purpose, the driver keeps a NULL placeholder in its table of sysfs attributes and replaces the NULL with a pointer to an attribute structure if it decides to expose cpb. That is confusing, so make the driver set a pointer to the cpb attribute structure upfront and replace it with NULL if the attribute should not be exposed instead. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
