I would suggest merging this fix in v4.2 not v4.3:

- it is obvious and touches only error paths

- (hopefully) in v4.3 the exynos-cpufreq driver will be completely
  replaced by using cpufreq-dt for Exynos platforms (thus there will be
  no benefits of having this fix in v4.3 but there will be potential
  risk of merge conflicts due to exynos-cpufreq driver removal)
