I have discarded all emails with following subject line:

"cpufreq: Convert to exit callback returning void".

While you have sent decent patches for removing the empty exit callbacks, the
way you have handled these changes is not correct.

Don't send any patches for now and please wait and understand what's being asked
from you.

This change you are trying to make is okay and sensible, but you can not send
random patches to the list just like that. You are wasting everyone's time here
including yourself.

Now what we expect here is a single commit (with version history), which changes
all the users of the exit() function (each and every cpufreq driver) and
cpufreq.h and cpufreq.c. That change should compile fine and break none of the
platforms compilation.

Please don't send more of these patches unless this is done.
