3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wyso...@intel.com> commit 2ed99e39cb9392312c100d9da591c20641c64d12 upstream. After commit da60ce9f2fac (cpufreq: call cpufreq_driver->get() after calling ->init()) __cpufreq_add_dev() sometimes fails for CPUs handled by intel_pstate, because that driver may return 0 from its ->get() callback if it has not run long enough to collect enough samples on the given CPU. That didn't happen before commit da60ce9f2fac which added policy->cur initialization to __cpufreq_add_dev() to help reduce code duplication in other cpufreq drivers. However, the code added by commit da60ce9f2fac need not be executed for cpufreq drivers having the ->setpolicy callback defined, because the subsequent invocation of cpufreq_set_policy() will use that callback to initialize the policy anyway and it doesn't need policy->cur to be initialized upfront. The analogous code in cpufreq_update_policy() is also unnecessary for cpufreq drivers having ->setpolicy set and may be skipped for them as well. Since intel_pstate provides ->setpolicy, skipping the upfront policy->cur initialization for cpufreq drivers with that callback set will cover intel_pstate and the problem it's been having after commit da60ce9f2fac will be addressed.
