Right.
However, the logic in this entire function looks somewhat less than
straightforward to me, because it looks like it should return an
error on the first policy without a frequency table (having a frequency
table depends on the driver and that is the same for all policies, so it
is pointless to iterate any further in that case).
Also, the error should not be -EINVAL, because that means "invalid
argument" which would be the state value.
So I would do something like this:
