    cpufreq: brcmstb-avs: fix imbalance of cpufreq policy refcount · a48ac1c9
    chenqiwu authored
    brcm_avs_cpufreq_get() calls cpufreq_cpu_get() to get the cpufreq
    policy, meanwhile, it also increments the kobject reference count
    to mark it busy. However, a corresponding call of cpufreq_cpu_put()
    is ignored to decrement the kobject reference count back, which may
    lead to a potential stuck risk that the cpuhp thread deadly waits
    for dropping of kobject refcount when cpufreq policy free.
    
    With this patch, the cpuhp thread can be easily exercised by
    attempting to force an unbind of the CPUfreq driver.
