From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If cpufreq_register_notifier() fails, we have to remove the port added by sci_probe_single(), which is not done by sci_cleanup_single(). Else the serial port stays active from the point of view of the serial subsystem, and it may crash when userspace getty is started, or when the loadable driver module is unloaded. This was introduced by commit 6dae14216c85eea13db7b12c469475c5d30e5499 ("serial: sh-sci: Fix probe error paths").
