The only place where it can crash is when the thermal_cooling_device_stats_update() function is called. The other places in show*/store* in the stats directory are inaccessible as the sysfs entry is not showed up due to the thermal_cooling_device_stats_setup() failing. It would have been nice if the thermal_cooling_device_stats_update() was not called at all but I don't see how we can do that without static keys which is overkill for a degraded mode. I guess having the kzallocation warning in the console output is enough to warn the user the system is working without the stats for the cooling device. That should not prevent the system functioning. Can you resend with the check in thermal_cooling_device_stats_update() only?
