    thermal: cpu_cooling: check for the readiness of cpufreq layer · 0f1be51c
    Eduardo Valentin authored
    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.
