[PATCH] cpufreq: acpi: Allow new dynamics attributes to be added to acpi_cpufreq_attr

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Thu Mar 03 2016 - 00:40:50 EST


acpi_cpufreq_attr contains at least one dynamically populated (removed)
attribute today, cpb. But the code isn't friendly enough for new
attributes to be populated in a similar way.

Make some changes to allow new attributes to be easily added to the
struct.

Srinivas,

This should make it easy for you to add another dynamic entry into the
acpi_cpufreq_attr structure.
