In the event that the SoC is under thermal pressure while booting it's

related_cpus cpumask.
Prior to the introduction of the thermal pressure update helper an empty
cpumask would simply result in the thermal pressure of no cpus being
updated, but the new code will attempt to dereference an invalid per_cpu
variable.
Just to confirm, is that per-cpu var the 'policy->related_cpus' in this
driver?
Avoid this problem by using the newly reintroduced "ready" callback, to
postpone enabling the IRQ until the related_cpus cpumask is filled in.
Fixes: 0258cb19c77d ("cpufreq: qcom-cpufreq-hw: Use new thermal pressure update function")
You have 'Fixes' tagging here, which might be picked by the stable tree.
The code uses the reverted callback .ready(), which might be missing
there (since patch 1/2 doesn't have tagging). This patch looks like a
proper fix for the root cause.
Anyway, I'm going to send a patch, which adds a check for null cpumask
in the topology_update_thermal_pressure()
It was removed after the review comments:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20211028054459.dve6s2my2tq7odem@vireshk-i7/
I'll also push that change for the stable tree.
