BUG_ON should not ideally contain a functional code. Remove it out.
True. But this code should not be using BUG_ON() in the first place.
We should not crash the whole kernel in this case, just fail
with a warning.
If you're cleaning this up, can you make it fail more gracefully.
I agree if this was a preipheral driver or a non-critical path. but in
this case:
a) we are speaking of a core description of the h/w - OPPs frequencies
and voltages which out which the functionality of the system is at
stake. I am not speaking of just having a basic kernel boot up to shell
prompt - we need the kernel to do much better than that.
b) Is there any reason why the registration could fail - if it did fail
at this point, there is something catastrophic happening - some other
driver is going beserk OR Opp layer is by itself screwed up - why
continue if we can warn the system and force a fix of the code?
c) is there a recovery mechanism to put the system back in a usable mode
with dvfs etc? I might prefer to get some ideas on it..
Kevin
