If the ondemand and conservative governors cannot use per-policy
tunables (CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY is not set in the cpufreq
driver), all policy objects point to the same single dbs_data object.
Additionally, that object is pointed to by a global pointer hidden in
the governor's data structures.

There is no reason for that pointer to be buried in those
data structures, though, so make it explicitly global.

I think the previous method of a handling the error is easier to read and
more in line with the typical kernel coding style. The successful path ends
in an unconditional return statement and the error paths are handled with a
goto.

You are talking about something like this now:

     if (condition)
         goto label;

     return 0;

label:
     do stuff

I'm sorry, but I fail to see how this is easier to read than

     if (!condition)
         return 0;

     do stuff

The return statement is not unconditional in either case, but in the
first one it is just obfuscated by using the label and goto which are
completely unnecessary.


It's more readable because someone new is quickly scanning the code to understand what's going on, once you hit an unconditional return (as in, return without any ifs around it) you can just assume the rest of the code is error handling and skip reading/mentally processing them.

That, and it's more inline with how most of the kernel handles error conditions.

Anyway, you are removing it since it's not related to the patch. So, not planning to debate this fairly subjective opinion further.
