I have several solutions. Please kindly review.
The first one is:

+ put_cpu();

err = sysfs_create_group(&sys_dev->kobj, &thermal_attr_group);
if (err)



Should we call smp_processor_id/get_cpu in thermal_throttle_add_dev?
We know the cpu when calling thermal_throttle_add_dev (in thermal_throttle_cpu_callback and
thermal_throttle_init_device) so we can pass the cpu number when calling it.

My second solution is:
