Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: remove sysfs files for CPUs which failed to come
 back after resume
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

There are cases where cpufreq_add_dev() may fail for some CPUs
during system resume. With the current code we will still have
sysfs cpufreq files for those CPUs and struct cpufreq_policy
would be already freed for them. Hence any operation on those
sysfs files would result in kernel warnings.

Example of problems resulting from resume errors (from Bjørn Mork):

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6055 at fs/sysfs/file.c:343 sysfs_open_file+0x77/0x212()

To fix this, remove those sysfs files or put the associated kobject
in case of such errors. Also, to make it simple, remove the cpufreq
sysfs links from all the CPUs (except for the policy->cpu) during
suspend, as that operation won't result in a loss of sysfs file
permissions and we can create those links during resume just fine.
