SubjectRe: [PATCH v5] PM / devfreq: Fix devfreq_add_device() when drivers are built as modules.
Hi Enric,

2018-07-04 17:45 GMT+09:00 Enric Balletbo i Serra
<enric.balletbo@collabora.com>:
> When the devfreq driver and the governor driver are built as modules,
> the call to devfreq_add_device() or governor_store() fails because the
> governor driver is not loaded at the time the devfreq driver loads. The
> devfreq driver has a build dependency on the governor but also should
> have a runtime dependency. We need to make sure that the governor driver
> is loaded before the devfreq driver.
>
> This patch fixes this bug by adding a try_then_request_governor()
> function. First tries to find the governor, and then, if it is not found,
> it requests the module and tries again.

> Fixes: 1b5c1be2c88e (PM / devfreq: map devfreq drivers to governor using name)

> Changes in v5:

> - Requested by Chanwoo.
> - In request governor function check if governor name is NULL or not.
> - Remove some unrelated changes (added/removed some blank lines).

> Changes in v4:

> Changes in v3:
> - Remove unneded change in dev_err message.
> - Fix err returned value in case to not find the governor.
>
> Changes in v2:
> - Add a new function to request the module and call that function from
> devfreq_add_device and governor_store.
