By design, cpufreq drivers are responsible for calling cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() from their ->init() callbacks to validate the frequency table. However, if a cpufreq driver is buggy and fails to do so properly, it lead to unexpected behavior of the driver or the cpufreq core at a later point in time. It would be better if the core could validate the frequency table during driver initialization. To that end, introduce cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() and make the cpufreq core call it right after invoking the ->init() callback of the driver and destroy the cpufreq policy if the table is invalid. For the time being the validation of the table happens twice, once from the driver and then from the core. The individual drivers will be updated separately to drop table validation if they don't need it for other reasons. The frequency table is marked "sorted" or "unsorted" by the new helper now instead of in cpufreq_table_validate_and_show(), as it should only be done after validating the table (which the drivers won't do going forward).
