Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Ref the policy object sooner
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:21:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1416403291-7722-1-git-send-email-tomeu.vizoso@collabora.com> (raw)

Do it before it's assigned to cpufreq_cpu_data, otherwise we can get
this warning when a driver tries to get the cpu frequency during
initialization:
