I was damn sure that this wasn't a waste of time. This was some meaningful
code when I visited it earlier. And we absolutely required a new
cpufreq_cpu_get()..
Reason: Earlier tables were created for this notifier: CPUFREQ_NOTIFY and
it used to come with another changed copy of 'policy' and so we were required
to get the real copy of policy to get to the right kobj.
But recently I have simplified stuff there and these tables are now added with
CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY and so this replication isn't required anymore.
So, Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx>
While you are at it please get this part into __cpufreq_stats_create_table()
routine:
table = cpufreq_frequency_get_table(cpu);
if (!table)
return 0;
As it is replicated at two places currently.
