From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> commit f5739cb0b56590d68d8df8a44659893b6d0084c3 upstream. Before commit 1e4f63aecb53 ("cpufreq: Avoid creating excessively large stack frames") the initial value of the policy field in struct cpufreq_policy set by the driver's ->init() callback was implicitly passed from cpufreq_init_policy() to cpufreq_set_policy() if the default governor was neither "performance" nor "powersave". After that commit, however, cpufreq_init_policy() must take that case into consideration explicitly and handle it as appropriate, so make that happen.
