3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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.
