Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] ACPI: processor: Reorder acpi_processor_driver_init()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

The cpufreq policy notifier in the ACPI processor driver may as
well be registered before the driver itself, which causes
acpi_processor_cpufreq_init to be true (unless the notifier
registration fails, which is unlikely at that point) when the
ACPI CPU thermal cooling devices are registered, so the
processor_get_max_state() result does not change while
acpi_processor_driver_init() is running.

Change the ordering in acpi_processor_driver_init() accordingly
to prevent the max_state value from remaining 0 permanently for all
ACPI CPU cooling devices due to setting acpi_processor_cpufreq_init
too late.  [Note that processor_get_max_state() may still return
different values at different times after this change, depending on
the cpufreq driver registration time, but that issue needs to be
addressed separately.]
