Its already included by Rafael, don't include it in your next version:

    cpufreq: Don't remove sysfs link for policy->cpu

    "cpufreq" directory in policy->cpu is never created using
    sysfs_create_link(), but using kobject_init_and_add(). And so we
    shouldn't call sysfs_remove_link() for policy->cpu().  sysfs stuff
    for policy->cpu is automatically removed when we call kobject_put()
    for dying policy.
