I agree the code about passive governor to drivers/devfreq/governor_passive.c.
It makes the code clear.

I agree. I'll modify it.

OK.

I'll fix it.

OK. I'll register/unregister the DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER by using
DEVFREQ_GOV_START/STOP event.

OK. I'll remove it.

When the devfreq device using passive governor registers the notifier
to DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER, the devfreq device need the one notifier block field
as following:

struct devfreq {
	...
	...
	struct notifier_block passive_nb;
}

static int devfreq_passive_event_handler(struct devfreq *devfreq,
                               unsigned int event, void *data)
{
       struct device *dev = devfreq->dev.parent;
       struct devfreq *parent = (struct devfreq *)devfreq->data;
       struct notifier_block *nb = &devfreq->passive_nb;
       int ret = 0;

       if (!parent)
               return -EPROBE_DEFER;

       switch (event) {
       case DEVFREQ_GOV_START:
               nb->notifier_call = devfreq_passive_notifier_call;
               ret = devm_devfreq_register_notifier(dev, parent, nb,
                                       DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER);
               break;
       case DEVFREQ_GOV_STOP:
               devm_devfreq_unregister_notifier(dev, parent, nb,
                                       DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER);
               break;
       default:
               break;
       }

       return ret;
}
