I did not check specifically if changing the frequency really uses any of the
resources that are released previously, In any case it's not a good idea to
allow other parts of the kernel to use a half initialized/torn down device.
Even if it isn't a problem today someone could change the driver to use any
of these resources (or add a new one) in a frequency change, without even
thinking about the cooling device, just (rightfully) asuming that things are
set up and torn down in a sane order.
