PATCH v2 1/1 thermal: cpu_cooling: check for the readiness of cpufreq layer

In this patch, the cpu_cooling code checks for the usability of cpufreq layer before proceeding with the CPU cooling device registration. The main reason is: CPU cooling device is not usable if cpufreq cannot switch frequencies.

Similar checks are spread in thermal drivers. Thus, the advantage now is to have the check in a single place: cpu cooling device registration. For this reason, this patch also updates the existing drivers that depend on CPU cooling to simply propagate the error code of the cpu cooling registration call. Therefore, in case cpufreq is not ready, the thermal drivers will still return -EPROBE_DEFER, in an attempt to try again when cpufreq layer gets ready.

(I'm sorry VireshK, I am still using my normal practice) :-)

Changes from V1:
- As per Viresh K. suggestion's, the check for cpufreq layer readiness is now only a simple fetch for cpufreq table.

Throwing an error here doesn't look to be the right thing. Ultimately we will register the cooling dev when probed again after some time.

So, a pr_debug() suits more here.

Also, this breaks existing exynos thermal drivers as they don't handle -EPROBE_DEFER well right now.

I reached here, because one of my patches had something similar to what you wrote. Just for this file though, haven't updated any other drivers though.

Will be sending you my small patchset by end of day today, please see if they make any sense at all..

Unfortunately Viresh is correct here. Current (before rework) Exynos TMU driver expects that cpu_cooling device will succeed.

Well, I wouldn't say unfortunately, but fortunately! :-)

Ok. But I believe it is a matter of propagating the error code. As I included in this patch:

The version you sent (for exynos) is better because there is a check for not print error messages in case of deferring.

However, I would prefer, at least to what comes to deferring, to update the drivers altogether with the inclusion of the check in cpu cooling. This way the change in behavior is atomic, in terms of commit changes.

Viresh, if you don't mind, I will merge your patch 04/26 into this one.
