Subject: PM / devfreq: Fix the bug of devfreq_add_device when governor is NULL
From: Chanwoo Choi <cw00.choi@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 73613b16cb5c5d5a659fc8832eff99eead3f9afb upstream.
This patch fixes the bug of devfreq_add_device(). The devfreq device must
have the default governor. If find_devfreq_governor() returns error,
devfreq_add_device() fail to add the devfreq instance.
Fixes: 1b5c1be2c88e (PM / devfreq: map devfreq drivers to governor using name)
