4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Arcari <darcari@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 6c77003677d5f1ce15f26d24360cb66c0bc07bb3 upstream. For a driver that does not set the CPUFREQ_STICKY flag, if all of the ->init() calls fail, cpufreq_register_driver() should return an error. This will prevent the driver from loading.
