Query related to usage of cpufreq_suspend() & cpufreq_resume

[Prateek Sood]

Hi Viresh,

One scenario is there where a kernel panic is observed in
cpufreq during suspend/resume.

pm_suspend()
  suspend_devices_and_enter()
    dpm_suspend_start()
      dpm_prepare() 

Failure in dpm_prepare() happend with following dmesg:

[ 3746.316062] PM: Device xyz not prepared for power transition: code -16
[ 3746.316071] PM: Some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected


pm_suspend()
  suspend_devices_and_enter()
    dpm_suspend_start()
      dpm_prepare() //failed
    dpm_resume_end()
      dpm_resume()
        cpufreq_resume()
          cpufreq_start_governor()
            sugov_start()
              cpufreq_add_update_util_hook()

After failure in dpm_prepare(), dpm_resume() called
cpufreq_resume(). Corresponding cpufreq_suspend() was not
called due to failure of dpm_prepare(). 

This resulted in WARN_ON(per_cpu(cpufreq_update_util_data, cpu))
in cpufreq_add_update_util_hook() and cpufreq_add_update_util_hook->func
being inconsistent state. It caused crash in scheduler.

Following are some of the ways to mitigate this issue. Could
you please provide feedback on below two approaches or suugest
a better way to fix this problem.
