Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Cpufreq fixes related to cpu hotplug/sysfs-writes


Hi,

This patchset solves the cpufreq synchronization problems related to CPU
hotplug and writes to cpufreq sysfs files. The problem was reported and
described by Stephen Boyd here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/27/643
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/30/597

All the patches apply on Rafael's bleeding-edge branch on linux-pm git
tree[1].

 Srivatsa S. Bhat (5):
      cpufreq: Split __cpufreq_remove_dev() into 2 parts (kobj cleanup & the rest)
      cpufreq: Invoke __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish() after releasing cpu_hotplug.lock
      cpufreq: Synchronize the cpufreq store_*() routines with CPU hotplug
      cpufreq: Remove temporary fix for race between CPU hotplug and sysfs-writes
      cpufreq: Use signed type for 'ret' variable, to store negative error values
