[PATCH] cpufreq: Default governor initialisation before use

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Sun Dec 16 2007 - 16:22:32 EST


Ensure that the selected default cpufreq governor is initialised before
used by the cpufreq driver on boot by using fs_initcall() instead of
module_init().

On boot, speedstep_init() calls into cpufreq_gov_dbs(). The driver has
not yet been initialised by cpufreq_gov_dbs_init() and kondemand_wq is
still NULL when it is dereferenced.

Changing the drivers module_init() to fs_initcall() fixed it. The same
is already done in the performance and userspace governor drivers.

The patch migrates all governors to use fs_initcall() when being the
default governor.
