Wouldn't it be better to keep a two dimensional table here, something
like: trans_table ?

You can have "reasons" in the vertical dimension and frequencies in
the horizontal one? So, that user can see which frequencies got
throttled and why?

You need documentation for chip*/ as well..

And how can a user know which policies or CPUs belong to a chip?

That doesn't look nice. What about keeping the kobject in the 'struct
chip' and using container of here?

You can register the kobject with: kobject_init_and_add().

Use DEVICE_ATTR_RO macro ?

Always use snprintf ..

Rather do:

        while (--i >= 0) {
                kobject_put(chips[i].kobj);
                kfree(chips[i].pstate_stat);
        }

You haven't removed the sysfs-group. Also make sure you aren't trying
to free/remove resources you haven't allocated, as the earlier part
can fail after 3 different allocations and you are doing same thing
here for all of them.

remove groups ?
