Probably, keep exit as is and only change P-state in stop(). So that
allocation of resources happen in init() and they are freed in exit()?

I looked at doing just that but it junked up the code. if stop() is called
during PREPARE then init() will be called via __cpufreq_add_dev() in the ONLINE
and DOWN_FAILED case. So once stop() is called the driver will be ready for
init() to be called exactly like when exit() is called.
