Subject: PM / devfreq: Fix the bug of devfreq_add_device when governor is NULL

From: Chanwoo Choi <[email protected]>

commit 73613b16cb5c5d5a659fc8832eff99eead3f9afb upstream.

This patch fixes the bug of devfreq_add_device(). The devfreq device must have the default governor. If find_devfreq_governor() returns error, devfreq_add_device() fail to add the devfreq instance.
