Hello all,
gives coretemp_cpu_callback -> coretemp_device_remove ->
platform_device_unregister, so coretemp seems to be what I have and you don't.
Yes.
For the coretemp developers: coretemp_cpu_callback() needs to be more
careful about what it does. During a system sleep transition (suspend,
hibernate, resume) it isn't possible to register or unregister a
device. Attempts to register will fail and attempts to unregister will
block until the system sleep is over -- and for this callback that
means hanging.
Well I wrote the driver. Thanks for the clarification. If I recall correctly I
looked how this part should be done from others drivers. Now while checking
what happened to the file, seems Rafael added something related.

It's not clear what the best way is to fix this. Perhaps the CPU
notification should be sent along with a special flag indicating that
the CPU transition is part of a system sleep (although this seems
racy). Perhaps the driver should notice when a system sleep begins,
and defer all CPU-change handling until after the sleep is over.
maybe it does exist? CPU_DOWN_PREPARE ?

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with this, calling the
coretemp_device_remove from CPU_DOWN_PREPARE would help? Looking at microcode
driver, seems it just hide sysfs interface from user.
Thanks,
Rudolf
