This patchset converts all remaining cpufreq users to rely on the
__free(put_cpufreq_policy) annotation for policy references, instead of
calling cpufreq_cpu_put() manually.
Motivation:
- Reduce the chance of reference counting mistakes
- Make the code more consistent with the latest kernel style
- behavior remains the same, but reference counting is now safer
and easier to maintain.
The changes are split into 6 patches as they touch different subsystems
and are maintained by different people. There is no functional change.
V5:
- drop 4 patches
- change return value int topology.c suggested by Jonathan Cameron
- fix code in processor_thermal.c suggested by Rafael and Jonathan Cameron
- fix code in intel_pstate.c suggested by Rafael
- fix code in governor_passive.c suggested Jonathan Cameron
- fix code in energy_model.c suggested by Rafael and Krzysztof Kozlowski
V4:
- Fix compile error in topology.c
- drop 2 patches
- Move code into a function in processor_thermal.c
- Move code into a function in intel_pstate.c
- Move policy declare in dtpm_cpu.c
- Fix compile error in imx_thermal.c
- Fix compile error in ti-thermal-common.c
- Fix compile error in energy_model.c
V3:
- drop patch 'KVM: x86: Use __free(put_cpufreq_policy) for policy reference'
- removed 5 patches which has been applied
- Consolidate CPUFreq policy assignments and allocations into one line,
suggested by Ben Horgan
- Change cpu_has_cpufreq() return type to bool, following Rafael's suggestion
- Change the title to 'Use scope-based cleanup helper'
V2:
- Fix compile error in powernv-cpufreq.c
- Split patch to separate logical changes
