From: Kyle Meyer <kyle.meyer@hpe.com>

acpi-cpufreq is loaded without performing initialization when a cpufreq
driver exists.

If initialization didn't occur then skip cleanup in acpi_cpufreq_exit().
This prevents unnecessary freeing and unregistering when the module is
unloaded.

Looks like some misunderstanding here, this shouldn't happen. If
initialization didn't occur, then exit shall never be called.

The missing key information is that it's a fix for the recent change
for 5.14, i.e. 
Fixes: c1d6d2fd2f64 ("cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Skip initialization if cpufreq driver is present")

The change made the module left even if it exits before registering
the cpufreq driver object.

The original patch looks buggy to me, I was never able to review it :(

I have replied on the original thread instead.

Well, thanks, but that confused me a bit.

Given the above, I'm going to drop the original patch.

Kyle, please reconsider this approach.
