Subject: [PATCH 4.9 052/153] PM / devfreq: Fix available_governor sysfs

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

------------------

From: Chanwoo Choi <cw00.choi@...sung.com>

commit bcf23c79c4e46130701370af4383b61a3cba755c upstream.

The devfreq using passive governor is not able to change the governor.
So, the user can not change the governor through 'available_governor' sysfs
entry. Also, the devfreq which don't use the passive governor is not able to
change to 'passive' governor on the fly.

Fixes: 996133119f57 ("PM / devfreq: Add new passive governor")
