Subject: [PATCH 3.12 097/113] cpufreq: fix garbage kobjects on errors during suspend/resume

From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@...k.no>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 2167e2399dc5e69c62db56d933e9c8cbe107620a upstream.

This is effectively a revert of commit 5302c3fb2e62 ("cpufreq: Perform
light-weight init/teardown during suspend/resume"), which enabled
suspend/resume optimizations leaving the sysfs files in place.

Errors during suspend/resume are not handled properly, leaving
dead sysfs attributes in case of failures.  There are are number of
functions with special code for the "frozen" case, and all these
need to also have special error handling.

The problem is easy to demonstrate by making cpufreq_driver->init()
or cpufreq_driver->get() fail during resume.

The code is too complex for a simple fix, with split code paths
in multiple blocks within a number of functions.  It is therefore
best to revert the patch enabling this code until the error handling
is in place.

Examples of problems resulting from resume errors:

The failure to restore cpufreq devices on cancelled hibernation is
not a new bug. It is caused by the ACPI _PPC call failing unless the
hibernate is completed. This makes the acpi_cpufreq driver fail its
init.

Previously, the cpufreq device could be restored by offlining the
cpu temporarily.  And as a complete hibernation cycle would do this,
it would be automatically restored most of the time.  But after
commit 5302c3fb2e62 the leftover sysfs attributes will block any
device add action.  Therefore offlining and onlining CPU 1 will no
longer restore the cpufreq object, and a complete suspend/resume
cycle will replace it with garbage.
