As I commented, I'll fix this issue. If devfreq driver doesn't implement
the .get_dev_status, don't show it via available_governors. I think that
it is fundamental solution to fix this issue. So on this version,
don't add the this conditional statement on this function

And on next version, please use the capital letter for first character
on patch title as following:

- PM / devfreq: Check get_dev_status before start monitor
